I think Summer has went!  I was perished this a.m. Whilst trying to clean the yard.   Bright here in East Yorks but cold.

Well I'll indulge myself in the typical English moan by saying that so far this is the worst summer I've seen since we bought this caravan in 2012. You can usually reckon on the odd nice day in April, rather more in May, with June being mostly nice. There have only been a handful of what I'd call good days this season with most spoiled either by rain, hight winds, or cold and some cursed with all three.


That said although the shade temperature is only 16C and there is a cold north wind it's nice sitting in the sun on our south facing decking which is sheltered from North winds and it wasn't bad wandering around Fakenham market earlier on as it was sunny and in towns there is shelter from the worst of the wind.

Been in the garden in a T-shirt today - but it is the sunny south!

Warm & sunny in North Lincolnshire & it's been a good summer so far.

And lovely here, if a tad breezy.

Beautiful sunshine here .. SE. Temps are expected to rise over the weekend .
Dare I say it !  The garden desperately needs rain .
Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.

GrannyMoss, Wow, I suppose everybody has wind trouble at times depending what they eat, but if its enough to blow your hat off, that's a real problem.

It's been very windy here for the past two days.  It's been no fun working in he garden, but I still have to water every day. At least it's not windy inside the polytunnel.

Forecast is for calmer and warmer from tomorrow on.
You'll have had your tea.
