Like most people I too believed the government / met office scam that tricked us into thinking we were going to have a scorchio summer & to stay in this country. I am coming to Devon mid Aug & now fear the worst

Curse you Gordon Brown ( I need to blame someone ! )

No sun here but I have had to water my garden as it has not rained for over a week.

This summer has been shite.

Remember back in April, when we got the warmest Spring on record. Everybody was cheering for a long, hot summer.

What happened?

Had a couple of thunder storms a couple of weeks back, but since the beginning of June, hardly any rain but very cloudy.
But I am so pleased that the rest of the country is having what to me is a normal summer.

Thank god for that. Here was I thinking it was my fault for mentioning that the garden was getting a bit dry during that half an afternoon heatwave that we had back in June. I can stop feeling guilty now.

When they announced there would be a heat wave I went out and bought and whole load of summer clothes. It has been miserable weather ever since.

I live in Devon and we are promised that the sun will start to shine from Aug 14 so you could be in luck

Is he the one to blame for the credit crunch too? What about global warming? Crime on the streets? The demise of live streaming? boy he has something to answer for! Knew I couldn't trust that one!

Right , some hope to cling on to - you realise you are setting yourself up for a fall with a big statement like this Do you have a reliable source for this ? Are the crops laying down or something like that ?
All this country stuff is foreign to us City folk

Here in South Wales it's had that 'autumnal' feel/smell for weeks now, even on a fine morning - what's up with our weather for goodness sake? Two weeks of sunshine (yeah right) and we'd have a hose-pipe ban enforced upon us!

I usually blame Craaaaaaaaaaaig Da-viid for everything.. this is now going to be replaced with 'Langster'..

I remember reading after the warm June & early July spells that the heat would return again mid August, when the rain would disappear again.
