I don't even live in Britain and it seems like I've been there, this week. We've had rain every day except for yesterday. It's bizarre...but I did enjoy the poem.

It's actually dry and sunny today... but I know wet days are to follow - as long as it is dry at TT at the end of May start of June that is the most important thing - people spend many thousands of pounds to come over to see/take part in the racing but it is in the lap of the gods if it goes ahead - if the emergency helicopter can't fly becuase of poor weather/visibility the races don't go ahead:-( Hugs jan xx
