Now the election is over, let us talk about something else - like the weather!

Last night our indoor/outdoor thermometer registered an outdoor temperature of 11.2 C. I went back into my winter nightwear and put the electric blanket on for a few minutes.

This morning it was not much higher and the internal temperature was dropping close to the point (18.5C) where the CH automatically turns on - and it has been raining, it's been pouring, the old man....... not to mention the wind that is decimating my walnut tree and the rain has brought down a large branch of the buddliea.

Last night the rain was so heavy it woke me up hammering on the roof of our single storey extension.

The forecast said fine today between 6 and 10 am, so I have my washing out early and I’m poised to bring it in in another nine minutes.

It’s bloody awful and worse still so changeable! We too are holiday in the UK this year, certainly not next year!

Please, bring on some sunshine, at least 14 days in a row, without a hideous heatwave!

So true

When we lived in Devon I used to see postcards saying:

Come to Sunny Devon
Where it rains six days out of seven

North Devon today, RHS Rosemore Gardens. Blue sky trying its best, but only 17 degrees.

It's improving here, Joseann, please keep sending it over!

I remember watching the duck with her ducklings at Rosemoor, one little duckling was having such a struggle to get out of the water and up the bank but managed it in the end. 🦆

Sadly in Wales we get the rain first, and it is perishing cold here also
