Wet and cold, dry and warm..

Spring was very cold and wet with flooded rivers and a much needed boost to the ground water level. It was therefore not a big surprise when the weather in May and June changed and it became very warm and dry. This has continued and July is now one of the warmest we have had in a long time. I remember 1959 as one of the warmest ever but it is possible that 2018 might be just as dry and hot.

There is still water in the well but the grass is more or less gone and many trees have gone into sleeping mood with yellow or brown leaves. No need to cut the grass on the lawn and the farmers are suffering and have had to cut the grass on all fields where they can find some food for their animals.
