These heavy showers are becoming quite tedious in the drying of my pickling onions.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

...and the cloud/rain to the floor between us and Wainfleet range has just prevented me catching a glimpse of a USAF B2 Spirit Stealth aircraft...
Perhaps that is the Stealth bit...hiding in a rain cloud.

I have found the forecasts to be wildly at variance with reality over the past few weeks. BBC have forecast doom and gloom and it's often been fine and dry.
Metcheck have forecast sun, cloud, occasional bit of drizzle and it's been solid cloud and coming down in torrents. I'm thinking of borrowing OH's bit of seaweed.
As OC says, it's saved a lot of time in the evening with no need to water.
Never trust what the BBC tell you in particular the weather they rarely get it right, the weather forecast on the BBC gives me a headache due to up down left to right, and who can remember the Micheal fish forecast!!!!!
The met office web site is very good, or my regional ITV (West) forecasts are good.
the weather this year as been bad, poor crops, i wish i had a polytunnel...
