Posted 23 Aug 2015 Sort of weather I really like at present. Lots of sun in the day and very warm; then really heavy downpours in the evening (a bit like Singapore!). Forecast up here looks like lots of rain across the week. My water buts need replenishing so I'm OK with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 31 Aug 2015 Warming back up into the low 90's here this week, but it has been an outrageously mild summer here in the midwest U.S. Lark, LOVE the garden pics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 31 Aug 2015 It was stormy (and Spooky and Sunny sometimes too) both here and in Kelso, WA where I was for a car show this weekend, but we got a nice turnout just the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 1 Sep 2015 (edited) Warming back up into the low 90's here this week, but it has been an outrageously mild summer here in the midwest U.S. Lark, LOVE the garden pics!Thanks, Scott. This is what it looked like ten years ago! Bloody wet then too! I'd never had any interest in gardening - it was a waste land for the first 15 years I lived here. I just started improvising - a real free jazz garden. I find pottering around there a great place to listen to music. The only problem is I tend to sing along under the noiseless headphones. Neighbours think I'm nuts.********************************Must have rained again last night as both of the overspill buckets are now full. Still cloudy but much brighter than yesterday. ********************************UK weather: Bank Holiday downpours set to make it wettest August on record"Remember Dunkirk!"

Posted 9 Sep 2015 Mainly overcast but no rain. The odd bit of evening sunshine which is incredibly mood-enhancing when it appears. Definitely the feel of autumn in the air - that slight coolness, a bit damp, earlier nights. Saw a beautiful flight of geese (or something of that ilk) fly south cawing yesterday.Woke this morning to see a huge stork descend on a neighbour's TV aerial. Don't know if storks fly south.
