I think this weekend has just confirmed my view that the summer June/
July/August 2011, has been abismal! This whole weekend I've been at
the Southend Garden Show, tomorrow as well, and although showers only
appeared about 14:30 on both days, I can't believe how cold I've felt.
In fact today I put my long johns under my trousers, had a vest, T-
shirt, sweat shirt and fleese and still felt cold. My comment to some
of my colleague exibitors was "Not a bad day for December"

I agree, it's been abysmal - very few warm days at all. I could probably
count them on one hand and have fingers left over. I reckon we've only had
half a dozen odd days which have crept over 21°C since the third week of
April, and only two or three that would qualify as pleasantly warm. Very
disappointing!
