Raindrops keep falling on my head!!!

Yes, that's pretty much the weather for the last week, lots of rain!!

It hasn't rained continuously but we have had rain on a daily basis, sometimes light and sometimes heavy.

The sun when it has managed to break through has been warm...we just haven't seen much of it and so for the past week woollies and coats have been needed.

The UK has been predicted to have 30 days of rain...then possibly a heatwave, so as usual we aren't doing things by halves.

On the upside, the hosepipe ban has been lifted country wide and we are officially no longer in 'drought' conditions, however most of the Country is on flood warnings and there have already been floods in places.

Oh well I guess the rain is good for the gardens.....not so good for wanting to be out working in them though.

Here's hoping we get some dry weather over the weekend so that i can get the brassicas in the ground....however I won't hold my breath over it!!

Have a good weekend.

    1. I'd settle for a little drizzle instead of the torrential downpours Jo.

  5. Wouldn't it be nice if you could control the weather with a flip of a switch?
    You asked about what kind of glue I used on my wine glasses. It's called E-6000
    As for the turtle soup I couldn't tell you what they use, I've never had it and I don't think I ever will :)

    1. I have a theory on that Ann...but that's for another post!

      I did love those wine glasses...they would make a great gift.

      I think you're wimping out on the soup!
