Better than average summer in my neck of the woods

[GabbyLoggon]

but I gather they hadlots of rain up North. Did you get a tan?

its rained for about 3 years with barely a break in Manchester!

Sagacity....Up to about a week ago, we were praying for rain; but we have had some since. Yes, I have heard about Manchester

I am about as brown as I ever get. Sort of milky tea colour All the grass round here is brown. Big trees starting to look a bit withered at the edges. We have had some rain over the last week but it's back to sunshine now.

You really are an odd one, aren't you Gabby?

I am in the SE and we have had a pretty good summer.
Exception was yesterday when it pissed down all day and I was stuck with a house of 5 kids (2 of my own, 3 not!) who I had intended to take to the park!

I have tanned legs for the first time ever.

Grass was totally brown until the rain of this week. I'm going to have to cut it soon for the first time in weeks.
