By 'eck it is 'orrible owt there this afternoon. Don't know why I came over all Alan Titchmarsh then!

It is blowing a massive gale, thundering and the rain isn't falling from the sky, but howling across the garden hortizontally!  Glad I pegged the sheets in!

I was with my best pal who is terrified of thunderstorms and my poor husband who couldn't see where he was driving and we had to pull over, but .... wasn't it fabulous?!  :D

It's been a lovely day today in Whitley Bay, though a bit humid and then after tea the heavans just opened and down came the rain.  Hope it is dry tomorrow have just got to get those squashes in.  :-\ busy_lizzie

Blimey is that what it is like over on the North Island? I start wending my weary way to the NEC tomorrow to get the garden built for Gardeners World and I ain't looking forward to it if the weather is going to be iffy. The whole garden is going to be packed on the lorry tonight so we can get an early ferry, then the whole lot is exposed to the weather for a week during build-up and all my loverly plants that have been mostly grown and tenderly cared for are in for a big shock unless I can keep them covered.

If anybody is going, come and have a chat  on the EX-SIGHT-ABLE garden. Just ask for Ace you will recognise me as I am the one that  has had a big whack with the ugly stick.
