Summer - and It's Raining Again

Welcome to our ‘British’ summer
It’s raining again – oh what a bummer

Clear blue skies have turned to grey
Think it’s time for a foreign holiday!

What I love most about where I live even though for the most part other than a short spring and autumn the weather is cruel. What I love is most days are sunny. Great poem Jan!

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
