Tessa the Duchess Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 It rained so hard last night that all my potatoes and sweet peas have been battered down. The sun has just come out and I have pegged out a line of washing...which means it will start raining again soon Tessa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Felt quite old last night with a sleeping bag over my lap! This morning was foggy when I got up, but it is just dull and grey today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I cannot beleive the amount of rain this weekend, literally a wash out. Much needed for the garden though so am not really complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 The rain eventually came yesterday... thought my friends garden party over on the north coast was going to be a complete washout but it was glorious over there- hot too! We've had a cloudy morning here and the rain has just started... had enough of this now... please can we have the sunshine back?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 We had over 2 inches of rain over the weekend, great for the garden. We were supposed to have a dry afternoon yesterday and so when the sun came out at 3pm OH and myself went off to the allotment to plant out some more sweetcorn and some celeriac plants and do some picking for tea. By the time we got there a very dark cloud was forming and just as we left it tipped it down and continued to do so for the next four hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 All I can say about today is yuk, yuk and double yuk - and it is supposed to get worse. Looking forward to the end of the week for some sun???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Well they forecast torrential rain here and so far not one drop..... Sunday here was glorious - so much so that I got sunburnt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelly Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I went racing last night in Windsor and although it did not rain it was damp and extremely cold. Today in Watford no rain but cold and damp. Where is the sun hiding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Dry here with patches of grey and blue skies. Perfect weather for my 1st horse riding lesson in over a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Lovely here now chooks are sunbathing on the lawn. Not seen one drop of the torrential rain the forecasters predicted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 It was quite cold here earlier, but it's muggy and overcast now - perhaps we're due some storms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 It's been a beautiful sunny day here- very warm at times It clouded over towards the end of the evening though and it feels quite nippy now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 It hasn't been too bad here today. Very cold in the evenings though lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 It sort of stayed dry yesterday, but still dull and dismal - a little light rain in Basingstoke late afternoon, but nothing here. This morning I can see some breaks in the cloud, but no blue sky as yet. The cars look damp, but the ground is dry. Roll on Friday's sun (unless they've changed their minds again), because it is quite chilly here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clash City Rocker Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 It's easy to exagerate but, we've probably just had the heaviest rain I've ever seen while living in Worcester (over 40 years). The part of Worcester that I live in is hundreds of feet above the river level but all our drains have blocked and the rain water is above the level of the kerb. The traffic outside my house has stopped due only to the rain. People who live at the lower (scenic) levels of this city must be having an awful time. It has rained constantly for over 30 minutes, we've been without electricty for more than 15 minutes (better be back on in time for the footy !!!). Look forward to seeing ourselves on the national news (again). Quite scarry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I can quite believe it Clash....the centre of Sheffield is flooded.......it is all a bit too like June 2 years ago for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted June 10, 2009 Author Share Posted June 10, 2009 We had some sun and some blue sky - lots of floody puddles in Basingstoke, but we caught up with the torrential downpours later. Luckily we didn't get the storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 We had torrential rain and a massive thunderstorm while we were in Worcester this afternoon.....and then it all followed us home and we've got flooding and had thunder and lightning all evening.

Lesley Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 We had a river out the front last night but it has drained away this morning. The land is still very wet and squelchy though . Beautiful morning here........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
