Hi
Am sure this is a mistake to post this :fc: .... but I am amazed at how dry it has become here .... the streams are as dry as they were in July with one dried up altogether.
So warm too ........ just planted some onions and broad beans. ..... fushias , honeysuckle and roses still flowering.
-
so that will be snow by saturday then...
-
You done it now :innocent: :raining:
-
I hope this won't jinx it! My strawberrys have still got flowers on although everything else is just starting to look a bit winter worn now but I agree, so far, by us it seems to be quite mild
-
Same here - I have strawberries still flowering.
I have been digging over the weekend and the soil is dry-ish and easy enough to rake. That shouldnt happen in December.
Planted out Garlic and last minute onions too.
Cue many days of rain and snow.

Ssshhhhhhh!!!!!

Dry here too. We had a lot of snow 2 weeks ago and after that thawed the lads down the road drained our very large lake to gather up the carp. They broke the overnight ice then netted the fish. The sluice gates are closed but the stream feeding the lake is dry. I took the dog for a walk over the exposed sand and threw any mussels I found into what water is left of the lake.
I have been outside in a T shirt all day - :sunshine: :sunshine: :sunshine: :sunshine: :sunshine: :sunshine: for each of the next 6 days so not too much chance of the lake filling up.

so has south wales been hit by a monsoon yet?
you know its coming...
-
Linda, You trying to ruin our moving day.

Ken if we can move in snow then I'm sure you can manage a monsoon!! So is tomorrow THE DAY?

Thursday, nearly all packed. Another dry week with plenty of sunshine would be nice

It's very dry for the time of year here in North Wales too.

I need to go and pick some tomatoes from the greenhouse. They are still ripening.

:raining: :raining: well one of my neighbours will be pleased with me ... their water source for cows had dried up completely. Hope rest of you aren't getting too wet!
-
Did it rain? I must have missed that ... maybe it didn't penetrate the gloomy fog that has covered the Vale all day :(.
-
Well it's rained all day here :raining: - still, at least the hydro-electric should pick up a bit (down to 165watts this am) :) .
-

Didn't realise I had such influence! Just had to have a bath to help me dry out!! (I'd only been out to give cows some hay and check drains)
-
ooooooh Linda! - You've got a lot to answer for!!!
Are you sure you're not a unwitting rain-god like that character in the hitchikers guide to the galaxy series
(showing my age a bit)?

BackInWellies, you are not my favourite person, rained all day on the day of the move, we were like drowned rats.
Then we have only had one dry day since. Managed to walk the boundaries that day, a bit steep in places.
Drains all blocked up with leaves and the torrential rain the other day.
Any time you have any other thoughts :idea: about the weather please keep them to yourself
;)
