Its been completely filthy today

Since midnight z, 13.4 mm.

Total this month so far 32.6 mm.

went to Gardening Scotland today
Lots of sodden fields right across the country - large areas of surface
water lying on fields that should be crops or grazing land
It was less in east than west but I have never seen so much water on the
surface around Stirling and right through to Edinburgh in June
Every one I spoke to from this strip across the ground is bewailing the same
thing -- COLD - putting young plants out and them going backwards in May.
And the WET.

add the knock on effect of NOT a soul gardening cos its so cold and wet and
its a BAD year

-- had a good time though - one of my very few days out
