Title: wierd summer too?
Post by: chairmanphil on July 09, 2012, 02:13:37 pm

all this rain and then hot sunny spells has turned Oxfordshire into a kinda rain forest! all the foot paths are becoming impassable and the nettles in the back field are approaching 6' tall too! is this just in Oxfordshire or is everyone getting this? never seen anything like it. we have had 3" of rain over the weekend and looks like more to come too!
