Hi, All,

Still no 20C since May, just 63hr sun this month after 73hr in June
and a near gale yesterday. Max 10min 33KT and gusting to 50mph.

Haymaking has been abandoned this year for many in Teesdale and my
veg. garden looking as it would in early June (will I get a crop this
year?). Away to re-erect the bean poles now, just three snapped so
far, and cut the grass yet again before the threatened rain arrives.
The grass is loving it.
Our day will come. Thank-you Bradley! Cycling was my teenage sport
passion (:0)

I have been following the cycling with envy - little wind, hardly any rain
to speak of and only one day that could be described as hot. No wonder the
Brits have been thriving!
