    That sounds bad!

    I was fuelling up in Chippenham yesterday, put the fuel in, reached for purse and the heavens opened, it wasn't rain, but a waterfall! Just getting from forecourt to kiosk I was drenched in the space of ten steps.

    @Bertie, nice to see you around again.

    @michaels - you mentioned Lainston House - I can cofirm it is as nice as ever. Two blissful days there, shame about having to come home!

    Years ago I drove in daylight in Surrey through a summer shower so intense I saw a complete rainbow in front of the car (full 360 dgree circle). Never before, never since.;)

    Very changeable weather here yesterday. Thunder, but also blazing sunshine.

    Supposed to be showery today & tomorrow, then back to summer weather, which is good as I have a few games of golf lined up...
    The most beautiful light in the sky here....a sort of golden grey.


    Who can ever get bored when there is sky to look at.
    I think the same as this when I look at the sea too.:)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Golf is for old men, losers and people with small weiners. No intention of going.

    *tries to work out how to add PN to the ignore list...*

    Lemon jelly my cabbages are being demolished by tiny green caterpillars. Annoyed. Futile gardening.

    lemon, Lainston House has the most amazing walled kitchen garden, fruitbushes, various varieties of beets and carrots etc, not just one option, leeks, onions herbs, fennel, you name it. I did think of you yesterday morning:o.

    @lir and Spirit, I knew lir lives around about there, but I din't know that i was near you Spirit - I thought you were a London gal.

    I didn't have a fixed plan yesterday, and a friend of mine was with me as well. Next time tho, I shall mention it;)

    So this morning I sat down and the last thing I remember is thinking...'I'll just grab that blanket to keep warm in'. Woke up all curled up in a ball on the sofa( little sofas so have to curl up like a cat).
