lillybettybabs Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Well we started build a patio last September in a sunny trap part of our garden, The weather turned so we never finished last year. Well we have cracked on and got it finished for lovely bank holiday only for the lady upstair to throw wind, hail, rain at it and no sight of it brightening up, I have some lovely table wear, a nice bottle of Chardonnay in the fridge. COME ON SUN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 you're more likely to get blow away than get a sun tan today K! I took the dogs round the reservoir last night and nearly got whipped off my feet by the wind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I think the weekend is due to be grey rather than quite so wet and windy as it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Look, I'm not complaining - first proper rain yesterday for nearly eight weeks, and the water-butt is still nearly empty. Sorry for those who had barbecues and garden parties planned, but I will be delighted if it rains all weekend, if it means the end of the drought!
