Ten years ago today we left Leeds, where we had lived for 40 years, and set up home in North-west Wales. Never a moment's regret

And the weather today is exactly what it was 10 years ago - cloudless sky, hot and sunny.

How lovely! Typical Welsh weather.
Congratulations on your anniversary.

All the best, Alan, for another 10, 20, 30 .... years! May the sun continue to shine with a bit of warm rain thrown in overnight.

Good morning Alan, sorry I am a bit slow reading these posts these days, I dont know where the time goes. Congratulations on your anniversary, I wish we could do the same. but OH's job, at the moment, does not allow it, never mind may be in a couple of years..... I love Wales and have had many a good holiday there both as a child and a grown up

Another anniversary tomorrow. Exactly eight weeks after moving here our peaceful river rose from a trickle to a raging torrent in the space of a couple of hours. The cause was a massive thunder storm which dumped several feet of hailstones on a small area. The actual river bed is about fifteen feet down beyond the two poles.

Needless to say, it's raining again today - and we just heard an ominous clap of thunder

Nature can be quite awesome at times, glad it was a little more peaceful the day i visited.

Here's the BBC report on the unseasonable weather in August 2000

You needn't have blown the thunder and lightning up this way. Wet weather job is boxing in and insulating the water tanks in the loft so I could have done without the rumblings and the lights flashing while I was up there.

At least it saves on the 'letrig

We did send the t and l your way, but we have hung onto some of the rain

I seem to recall some time back suggesting that your hosepipe ban would be a signal for rain, rain, rain
