Just as I was gazing at the rain coming down yet again and thinking to myself that summer was just saving itself up for The Olympics and me holiday in August I looked out of the back window and saw a splash of purple that told me my winter cyclamen had started to flower. Shall we just give up and go into hibernation now [confused......?]

It is all very depressing isn't it? I have spent the last 2 months telling myself that summer is just around the corner when I suspect it has been and gone. In fact the North East seems to have missed it all together !

Living within spitting distance of the North Sea means that plants in my garden have quite a hard time of it already, what with the wind and the salty air. Add the rain rain and more rain and my garden is a sad state of affairs !

I keep reminding DH that when the dry summer was (wrongly) forecasted, he spent most of March telling everyone, 'This is just like 1976. You mark my words, it will rain on May 5th and then won't rain again until September.' What a pl***er hmm
