    I never would have thought it possible, but I would say this summer is worst than last. I think we had a weeks sun in May this year. Definatley suffering from lack of vitamin D this year.:(:) 02

    O2 I know wha yu mean about the weather,though last Frday evening Mr Kandy and myself drove over to our allotment and they had had torrential rain whereas our village was sunny,last night we drove back over there and the sun was shining,drove back to our village and everywhere was soaked and we only live around nine miles from the allotment:) It seems you can be in one spot and it is chucking it down and yet a few hundred yards up the road it is bright and sunny:rolleyes::D

    We struck lucky with our week away in July because we had beautiful weather on the Isle Of Wight and we have found this most times we have been there.That part of the country seems to do very well with the weather,though I have never been there in the winter months to experience on of their winters:D

    Oh well better get back out into te garden now that the latest shower has gone over.I am in shorts and T,shirt working out there at the moment:D

    ssssshhhhh don't tell Mr Kandy 02 but a couple of times last week I had the heating on because I was soooo cold.:eek: Today it is 65f inside and 68f outside and I am out there and loving every minute of the fresh air,though I am finding quiet a few slugs and some snails amongst the plants:eek:

    It is when i am in bed at night I feel the cold most.Mr Kandy insists on having both the bedroom and the ensuite window open all year round so I end up having to have a blanket on top of the quilt to keep warm.:rolleyes::(I keep threatening to move into one of the other bedrooms just to get a nice warm nights sleep:):D

    PS love you little smiley eskimo:thumb:
