Had a days motorcycling yesterday. It rained most of the day, that told me that my jacket and trousers are not as waterproof as they were. Also cold.
This particular event takes place on the first weekend of July each year, it has rained for the last three years. I see a pattern emerging.

We were going to the Beaulieu Bikers’ Day yesterday...100 or so miles but chickened out. Although we lost money on the tickets I think we made the right decision. It was horrendous in the morning!
Have some bushes to trim right back to allow some scaffold to go up tomorrow. Get branch trimmer out of garage and set up, heavens open. Put it away. Rain stops. Get it out again, same thing happens again only this time I trap my finger in garage door due to hurrying to stay dry.

We had a slightly difference experience last night in Newcastle….we planned a BBQ for a family get-together to celebrate my wife’s 50th thinking July would be a fairly safe bet. I spent the evening under an awning in torrential rain with a Weber gas BBQ as we were determined not to let the weather spoil our plans. Utterly miserable.Driving the length of the country today. Left a sunny Aberdeenshire this morning, and had on / off rain through England. Was 19 degs on M6 toll, plummeted to 13 an hour later in Oxford where I met torrential rain that was flooding the motorway. Now blue skies again! Summer indeed! Let’s see what the last leg brings.

Hopefully not locusts.
