Popped over the plot with my arm bands on it was raining that much, new weather warning issued now for Sussex, Kent and Essex. Hopefully it wont cause anyone too many issues

[SusieG]

Warm'n'windy here today. Was waiting for the forecast rain to fall, but doesn't look imminent- so watering cans have been wielded...

[noviceveggrower]

Had a sprinkling of rain and that's it so far. Keeps going really warm then really cold. So will have to wait and see when this storm appears with us.

[Florence Fennel]

Eyup, hope you're all ok. Lots of R&R here. Just got used to a different pace so not looking forward to going back to work. How did the boys do in their exams Scarlet, well I hope? Golden Girl No1 now has several A-levels, but has no desire to go to University, so not sure what she will do. She does love earning money, so we're not too worried for her - yet. Very dark here already, I wonder if the rain will come?

[Bren In Pots]

Evening we've had a few spots of rain about 30 mins ago but it feels like there's a lot more to come. I'm still hoping to catch the meteor shower its supposed to be over our way at 9.35 ish. so earlier than last night.

Back here with an update. Hubby got his tooth filling this morning and it fell out tonight when he was eating a biscuit.
Guess where he will be going tomorrow.?

[Hazel at the Hill]

Evening folks!

I've make the carrot cake for the Show on Sunday - first time I've made one, and I've no idea what it should look like so it might be superb, or a massive embarrassment . Will make the frosting/filling on Sat. and I'll post a pic once iced so you can give your opinions!

It might be like the year that I entered the 'pot plant grown from supplied cutting' (a coleus, that year) - when I took my lovely 6" tall and wide plant to the display table I nearly died on the spot when I saw this series of huge and magnificent 3' specimens. Hey ho!

Incidently, this year's 'pot plant grown from supplied cutting' is a fuchsia, and mine looks quite good, I think.

Not sure what that says about your baking, Bramble.

[Nicos]

Evenin all.
Just had a walk outside and there seem to be loads of frogs about- all sizes!

Congrats on your GG's results, my boys don't get theirs until next Thursday (GCSE's) though felt quite sad today, one of the boys friends was expecting good grades. She got 9A's in her GCSE's.couple of years ago and got 3D's today in her A levels, didn't get her Uni spot

[Hazel at the Hill]

On the strength of your observation, Nicos, I have just taken a turn around the courtyard to observe the wildlife.
Frogs = 0
Slugs = 3
Woodlice = about 50

Given your frog epidemic, any bets on what little present Hibou will bring in for you at 4am .....?

Awww - I bet that has been a shock for her (assuming that she didn't sit on her 'arris for the past two years!). Shame that you can't gift a 'grown up's perspective' to her and make her realise that it's not the end of the world.

Well done to Flo's eldest GG - sounds like she has her head screwed on and wants to get on. Good for her.

[Nicos]

Ha!...it wouldn't be the first time!

Frogs can't half squeal can they...really loud when they get going.
Never seen her eat one though so they should be safe in that respect .

I've just found a slug in the kitchen, just above the dog flap. One of the pups must have been carrying a passenger

[Sheneval]

Got a phone call at the allotment about 1930 tonight - no.2 gson has broken his arm - come quick - spent the evening watching the hobbit (p3) with Nos. 1&3 - No.2 finally arrived home at 1145 complete with stookie from wrist to upper arm - however, he seems fine

[noviceveggrower]

Morning all. Sorry to hear about your no2 grandson has broken his arm Shen. Hope he is feeling better today.
Raining here and it has been since the early hours this morning. So got some bread dough rising ready to be baked off after 9ish. Then its scone baking time.
Have a good day everyone
