    The rain stopped just after dark last night and we've had nothing through the night, this morning is overcast and a little misty but it is dry and there's no wind..fingers crossed for a dry day today...:love30:

    Early mist but looks as if it may burn through again and be a fantastic day like yesterday .

    The rain was late today.

    It actually stayed dry all day at work, we managed to cram in a whole day of (damp) grass cutting and got a little hand weeding done (too wet for the hoe).

    After tea, straight out into the garden at home; just had time to pop in a few more radish seeds and did a quick hand weed around the Broad Beans before it started to rain just after 7pm. It is now raining steadily.

    16th consecutive day with rain. This is getting ridiculous.

    The cloud and mist burnt off by late morning and we've had a lovely warm sunny afternoon, many dozens of insects were certainly out appreciating it; butterflies, hoverflies, bees, ladybirds, shield bugs, you name they were all out in my garden today....:dbgrtmb:

    Whey, hey, torrential rain here ... and whilst we were away for five days for our holiday up on the West Coast just below Lisbon, apparently there was a hailstorm here yesterday ... :hate-shocked: We are sunburnt from our lunches out at the beach ... :hapydancsmil:

    We had a good gardening day today. Mild, mainly cloudy with the sun breaking through at times. Got quite a lot done. :dbgrtmb:

    Been out this evening and just got home and it's persisting it down at the moment.
