    A bit dull here but sun is poking through, rain is promised though. :mad: We have builders here working outside, so dry would be good for us. Also have big BBQ on Sun (26 coming last count) - forecast here is for storms :cry3:
    Have a good day everyone

    After about a month it has finally arrived. Something I wrote about some time back.


    I stop to hear this strange sound
    Of something rustling on the ground
    Something new? I'm not quite sure
    I think I've heard that sound before
    The air is sombre, the sky is drear
    An atmosphere to presage fear
    But no! It doesn't augur pain
    It's just the sight and sound of rain.
    -----------------------




    Hooray, it raining. :hapfeet: Sorry about the poor rhyme.

          Witchcraft is still illegal in Dorset, they've only just downgraded electricity from Witchcraft to "Highly Suspicious"

            Very autumnal feel to the weather here today, cloudy for the most part with a few spots of rain here and there and with the temperature around 17-18 degrees feeling very comfortable too, none of that humid sticky weather and also zero wind speed :thumb:, my sort of weather; I love the autumn :thumbsup: and yet I grow lots of plants that would love an 'Indian summer' to extend the growing season!!!?? :D

            After the very welcome heavy rain yesterday it is gloriously sunny :sunny:. It's a little bit nippy out there and the heating has turned itself on - we just leave the thermostat set on low.
