Morning Donedigging, the weather will be fine.
And as long as the people are kind, i don't mind what they look like.
It's rather cloudy here this morning, with rain promised for late this afternoon, and by the heck do we need it.

Don't be too sure

Now that July's over a quick calculation on the rain. Only seven days out of 31 without rain. Ten hours continuous yesterday, raining again today since 10 o'clock.

It has largely remained dry as dust over here in the East..great cracks in the ground and very brown lawns like 1995....possibly browner than that.?
We did at last manage to get a drop of rain last night...5.5mm... ..now it needs to hold off and be sunny again for NGS day on Sunday...

Looks as though August is setting out to rival July here
Fine on the 1st and 2nd then rain daily; wet this morning and forecast for next five days
Relieved to have dug all my potatoes on the last dry day in July, otherwise they would now likely be a rotting, blighted mess in the ground.

Fine for NGS open day..300 visitors....
Rains came on Wednesday morning...12mm...enabled us to light up the bonfire which had got to silly proportions during the very dry spell...when we just dare not light it.
Also enabled a good greenhouse tidy up..although in one it was nearly raining as much inside as out.... but anyway it has a nice display of large Begonia on the stepped shelving now. ..

Nice steady rain here this morning, a very welome sight indeed.
That was a good turn out for the NGS open day Clive!
Word must have got out about the popular new head gardener.

Hoping that what's outside the windows here at work will move north northeast thirty miles and stay there for a while. 
It's persisting it.

Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

Morning Alan, it is right at the present, as the sun has just burst out in it's full glory.
I really have fell in love with North Wales, and i feel a yearning to return one day.
And that includes taking in Chwilog once again.
Must put the picture of my whirlwind visit to Chwilog on the forum soon.

We are meant to be getting a scary amount of rain tonight, there's talk of between two and three inches.
Glad i put a bit more bracken on the roof.
