If anything, worse. At least in 07 I remember having a bit of a tan from the April sun......

Still winter '06 here I think Wish summer would come along soon as I for one am fed up with the gales.

I like this one...it's hot then wet - which means at least the crops get a bit of a watering in between. I do have a lottie with no water though - so I am a bit biased.

moon trials completed:
tomatoes
[46% increase in crop per seed sown and 10% increase in crop per plant]

currently underway:
calabrese
garlic

I'm a bit like that, means I don't have to water as much.

S'rainin' quite heavy now.

At least we can get out of Malvern without a boat!

Seriously though - this time last year OH was canoeing down the streets of nearby towns, so it is just a little bit better

Could do with a little more sun though!

Hold yer hosses, the sun's out!!!

Last year we struggled with La Nina, they said at the begining of this year they said that La Nina was still affecting our weather trends......which I guess is why it is the same as last year, and will be until it moves.

Do I remember the summer of 07? What? I've still got a boat moored by the shed!

yes spent all summer inside after an op on my ankle so didn't matter to me if it wet or dry had great weather the first two weeks of august in somerset.

It says it all that we went on holiday to Ireland and had 2 1/2 weeks of glorious sunshine whilst it continued to rain here!

I always knew there was a reason for the 4 kayaks in the garage

I don't think it's quite as bad this year - she said with fingers crossed as a big black cloud looms towards the house!

It's been much better this year, I think! The spring was naff (wot good English I av), but it's been quite passable recently. I've got two exploding native ponies, so the sun must have been out at some point. This time last year, the constant cloud meant that my fields never recovered from winter (a good thing for native bellies!).

Yeah man, it was tripping!!

Well I was glad of the miserable summer LAST year as was heavily pregnant and HUGE - in fact had the baby a year ago today. The hospital wasn't a million degrees like it normally is so that was good too.

This year however I could do with a bit of sun - having said that it has been nice here since we got back off hols so I am topping up my tan nicely! Whilest tackling the weeds and other millions of jobs that sprung up while we were away.

Not been that bad in MK over the last couple of weeks, a few periods of rain but nothing much to worry about. Had a fair bit of sun, my head has stopped peeling (own fault for not wearing a hat), trouble is that it only peeled in a few patches, so the balding pate now looks like desert camo

Eek! Shouldn't you get the vet out - an exploding pony will make an awful mess!

Remember going to a stables and being advised not to "go round the back of those ponies as they had been eating lots of spring grass and had colic". Their bellies were absolutely bulging, I suppose a gas build up or something, so with the methane I suppose you could have the danger of unexploded ponies. Very Pythonesque

Clocked that too! Sounds messy at the very least.

How is Dawn these days.

Which reminds me. I had a call put through to me earlier from a Don Keables. Needless to say, when the call was put through it turned out to be on of my mates having a chuckle.
