First day since we got back of holiday six weeks ago that it has not rained(yet) Looks menacing at the moment so little hope for later.

Been out and mowed the moss with water splashing over the tops of my shoes.

Thank goodness the hosepipe ban has been lifted

We are hoping for a bit of decent weather for the bank holiday weekend.  A friend is walking the length of Hadrian's wall dressed as a roman soldier to raise money for charity - (cancer research).  He will be carrying a full pack weighing 90lb, sleeping under his cloak and eating what are known to have been typical soldiers rations.

He will be in Carlisle town centre Thursday afternoon to chat to people before starting the walk on Friday morning.  He is planning to be in the Hexham area Sunday evening and Monday morning. We know there are lots of Rockers in Northumberland.  So if you are in the area and see him give him a cheery wave as I think he will be a bit footsore by then.

Your Friend is not sparing himself for this challenge, is he? A 90lb pack is only a little lighter than Ian! Hope the weather holds and he has a successful walk for such a good cause.  8)

We don't complain about the weather here. Well today it started to rain in the evening and forecast say much rain tomorrow.
But every day we have some sunny spells and temps are mostly around 20C.
Here near the coast we have about 100 more hours sun than inland  :D and in the evening after a cloudy day the sun is coming most of the days.
Here some pictures from yesterday towards the North Sea:

Luit, thanks for the reminder I'd quite forgotten what it looks like!

Well David,today I did only see grey and wet. Pouring down in the morning so heavy. Not seen this before during the whole summer.
The channels filled up almost to the edge. And more expected tonight. ::) ::)

Our river was flowing well for the first time in a few years yesterday after 30mls of rain. Please excuse all the weeds in the front garden. Just have not had the time to get out there.
