I like the rain too especially when I’m in a nice warm bath or in bed reading and I can hear it hitting the window. Sounds like a yummy ice cream ffiscool. That’s the one treat Hubby and I have every weekend - clotted cream ice cream, and when it’s a special occasion or a week off we put clotted cream on top too.

Garden update! As we have had so much rain a lot of greenery is now in the garden But the flowers are a bit late. 20210626_073658 20210723_174057 20210628_093217 Hopefully better weather coming this week and so my OH can then use his new pair of loppers to do some trimming!

Looks great, Sam, but you are a brave woman letting a man loose on your garden with a pair of loppers. 😵. They are notorious for not knowing when to stop; I hope you have an “off” button for him??

You should have seen him with his new "hole making machine", the walls in the place looked like Swiss cheese

Its far from peaceful now tweetiepiesmom for the amount of birds we have come in, its sooo noisy! And sitting out there hasn't been possible because its either been too windy jellybean or too wet! But! Furniture to come out tomorrow as its going to be nice..I can drink tequila sunrises whilst OH does the lopping of the camelia This is an old picture but shows our little furniture set

Ah, samwiseg, you'll be sitting outside enjoying your drink, directing your OH's work truly like a lady of the manor! Enjoy! Marianne Marlow, beautiful pictures! I lived in Seattle for a while and often wondered if the folks who immigrated from the UK there all those years ago thought the weather was familiar. Many places are named after places in the UK. Its cool/cold and overcast in Seattle from Sept through May. Summer doesn't really happen until early July. I was amused listening to the weather forecasts during those dreary months which would be "cool, overcast with occasional sun breaks".

Funny thing is, this time last year it was really hot, in the 30's and today was 23C!

It’s so hit and miss here at the moment. It got really hot in the sun, yet when I went out this morning, I took a jacket. Thank goodness though for good weather as I had my great niece and nephew all day. This is an adventure playground literally ten mins away That’s them. I used to do that back in the day, and hang off bars etc. Oh to be 10 again lol there’s also a scooter area with loads of hills/dips.
