Rain! Yay!

So pleased to see the rain (and you don't often say that when you live in north Cumbria!) But it's stopped now and the sun is out again. Oh, and the wind - sigh.

 

It's Lashing it down across here.
I'm supposed to be watching Durham beat Surrey tomorrow??

We had Summer here last week - back to November again today (sorry I meant Normal)

 

We had heavy rain up until about 10am then showers for the rest of the time. More of the same tomorrow I believe.

 

Also here, a good amount of rain.

Lovely down in Dorset now

 

Sunny now and a bit windy but heavy rain from midday till 3.30.

 

Glug, glug glug glug!

 

Some much needed rain has fallen over the weekend, but it has also been windy. We've had enough now, thank you, all water barrels full and plants' thirst sated.

 

Yep, I agree - wish I hadn't mentioned it to start with!

 

Yep. It's still raining up here - and the Cricket was washed out Yesterday as well.
Same old. Same old.

 

We had some seriously heavy showers here in Suffolk today.
Spent most of the afternoon dodging them at work. First one took me by surprise, when you've worked outside for as long as I have you usually know when there's one coming, but this one sneaked up from behind some tall trees and pounced while I was still engrossed on the task in hand. No warning, just instant deluge.
Another one started about an hour before knocking off time, so I donned the trusty waterproofs and carried on. Putting on the waterproofs usually results in the rain ceasing almost immediately.
Not this time it didn't, it simply rained harder than ever with a good dose of thunder and lightning thrown in for good measure. This continued relentlessly for the next hour while I finished the job in progress.
At precisely 4-25pm, just as I finish putting away all the tools and locking the shed, the rain stops and it's brilliant sunshine and blue skies all the way. :fingerdrum:
Ah well, such are the joys of gardening for a living.

 

Staffordshire has been very wet too! Although it's dry at the moment, managed to have a little peak in the garden and things have certianly swelled out my helenium seems to have particularly enjoyed the showers

 

Okay enough already! The rain was very welcome but can someone please turn the taps off now?

 

I love the rain it help the farmer in my country to grow there plants.
