Thats all we've had here for about a week. Me and my youngest asked for some sunshine last night before bed so he could play out side, low and behold the suns out today, although very windy.  :D :D

Just like last year, good weather early on, weather man promised a hot summer, then none stop wind and rain. I went to Majorca on holiday last year to see the sister, the farmers over there were moaning they hadn't had enough rain for the olives, if only we could send them some of ours over.   :gloomy: :gloomy: only time i got out of the wellies and water proofs.

My wonderful dog sitter last weekend wouldn't go near the chicken and duck runs to collect the eggs because they are so muddy.  My son came over and collected them in his wellies.  I've just seen them - 4 inches high in dried mud!  Please whoever controls our weather, anybody's God if there is such a being, can we have some dry, warm weather.

Plenty rain in Stirling - Just gave my 'white' cocker spaniel a bath for the third time this week and our 3 week old chick looks more like a drowned rat than a cream coloured legbar!  >:(

theres always a plus side- we won't need those extra water butts this year-the water table will be so high, the crops will float away-or we could always irrigate and plant rice paddies! my new piggies come out to be fed then run and hide again and the chickens- well they've started a campaign for wellies!
ahh, good old scottish weather!

On the other hand, we who are having wonderful sunshine have to keep refilling wallows.  (So there is a down side )
