wierd summer too?
« 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!
1 acre of land where i am clearing trees and a swimming pool so we can make the land productive. MK3 hilux single cab pickup which has been completely rebuilt over the last 2 years matt black and cool as! no animals yet except a very furry black cat called Hansel (he is so hot right now)
