I'm glad there's been plenty of rain this winter.

Remember hose-pipe bans?
Remember the brown landscape almost countrywide last summer?


No. My lawn stayed green and it was a fantastic dry summer with gorgeous
flowers.

If the winter 06/07 had been very very dry... followed by a dry spring
07, would have been disaster for the summer 07.


Indeed.

Trust me, people would really miss having a water supply, when the
temps are in the upper 20's, and the humidity is very high.

Horrible prolonged uncomfortable heat, with high humidity, without air
conditioning, i'm already dreading it. I think i should go live in
Scotland during the summer months, and if i like it up there, stay
there during the winter as well... have a better chance to see snow
that way


Yeah I hate heat too. Come live on Dartmoor, not as good for snow but up here
when the thermometer reaches 27C we all think its very hot, fortunately it
rarely does. Last summer we had loads of days 20-25C which was just about right!

but then i'd miss the summer storms


Hopefully we will continue to get those in Devon.

Hay, whassup it's sunny and dry outside today, must get out and make the most of
it, rain and gales and thick fog tomorrow.
