Yes please!

See both PN and I have both enthusiasm and manners...both starting ''yes please!''.
edit: fr the record, based on conversation here with NDG I should think her parents place is to my place as Brighton Pavilion is to a beach hut.

we have rain too....its so wonderful. I love thunder storms, they are my favourite weather. Listening to a thunderstorm and rain is very sensual IMO. Or even better, listening to the Storm movement from Summer concerto of otherwise suffered- by-overplay Vivaldi 4 seasons.

But everything is green again, and the grass has SHOT up this morning in funny patches.

Another nice morning here...we missed the rain yesterday and we are still missing it (at the moment), today.

Absolutely desperate for some rain here...it's been dry for weeks and weeks and all the flowers/plants are wilting.

Same here. I am off litter picking soon. About time I did something for the village.

They will probably send me back whence I came and tell me to pick the litter out of my own hedges....:o

We have beach clean ups here. They're very very very bad at marketing anything in this county though - and I'd never seen a beach clean advertised until I was recently trying to populate my local Events Diary.

The beach cleans seem quite badly organised too, it's only for an hour and about once a month..... badly organised, badly advertised - badly post-promoted.

They're poor at marketing anything down this way - and not interested in marketing anything as they don't see the benefit/don't believe in it.

Right now it is so dry, dusty and polluted here that you are doing a good job of marketing your rain - you seem to have had it wet for days while we have just had hot and sticky and dry

It's tipping it down here. Cool, grey - and very wet.

we had rain!! and now the sun is streaming on where it rained. I'm deliriously happy, I can weed and plant stuff out without breaking any body parts hacking at clay. Now to build another raised bed

And dig another part of the garden out

I think most of us know, at least roughly, but I think you can guess how far east/west people are by when the rain arrived on the thread. It could be
Like the age guessing, but less amusing.

There's no "seem" about it; it's been cold, windy and wet for about a week.

I remember thinking last week when the latest holidaymakers arrived next door "oh dear, it's wet for them"... and they ended up leaving yesterday rather than staying their whole week.

perfect weather for you! Congratulations!


We're off to deliver chickens to an MSEer, so weather isn't really that ''important'' to us today. I imagine it will have turned in to a jungle while we slip out. Perfect growing conditions here, residual wet, warm, light but not scalding.

Our first toms of the year (unknown cherry variety sown by my dad) are really tasteless.:mad::mad: But I'm going to think of something to do with them not raw for supper tonight.

Generali's summer pasta?

Get some olive oil in a pan and heat gently. Add a small chopped onion and a clove of garlic and soften. Then add a chilli (optional) and about 2-300g of cherry toms cut in half and a courgette cut into small chunks. Add also the juice of 2 lemons and rind of 1/2-1 lemon. Cook for about 20 mins and add either prawns, crab meat or cooked bacon at the end and a very good handful of parsley. Add fewer toms if you're doing crab.

Serve with linguine.
