English Summers

Our English summer has returned again trees and flowers in bloom, fledglings in flight though this weather is sending me insane, we need some warmth, sunshine make things so right all we get is wet, nothing but rain, rain, shower after shower, all day and night, dark grey clouds overhead, floods on soaked ground any more rain, we will surly be drowned.

Thank you very much Jan, apparently we have the most changeable weather in the world due to the jet stream, we can experience the equivalent to four seasons in one day, but I wouldn't want to change it. I feel amazing since I contracted poopitis which is thanks to you lol. :))

Thank you very much Connie, there seems to be so much flooding around the world recently, I feel for the poor people affected it must be devastating. Thanks again for your support. :)
