Rain Rain Go Away.

Oh Clarice its the same here, depressing isn't it..

You are not kidding, just to walk to the greenhouse or shed get soaked :((

It is chucking it down here in Newcastle, you need waterproof's to get to the bird table! I am pleased that I got new bird feeders that hold quite a lot of seed :-)

Its sickening is'nt it, all the rain is making my grass really long and can't do nothing about it, infact its making the garden look horrible now i think :((

You've photographed the rainsoaked gardens well, Clarice... added to GoYpedia Rain... :o)

I hope you get some sunshine soon...

TT, so do its horrible everythink is soaking, there again Scotland have had it worse than us as they have flood alerts i believe :((

Let's hope Scotland not getting flooded ...

Did Jack and Tilly find somewhere dry and cosy to sleep ?

added to Gnomes as well..Lol..

I have to keep laughing at Jack and Tilly, as they sit at there catflap when they wont to go out for ages, i open door and they still sit there then all of a sudden they dive through flap and with in seconds there back in, never thought of the poor gnomes getting wet :)))

I bet the gnomes are jealous of Jack and Tilly.. :o)))

Great pics of the rain ... just a shame it's August! ... Here's hoping for warmer and drier days ahead ... :o))

LOL:o))) i bet they are, Shirley i'm cheesed off with it, no point in going out unless i really have to as then i've got jackets etc to get dry aswell.

Oh dear, shall I tell you the sun is shining down here? No,better not . . . . .

SHIRLEY!! hahaha...

Shirley i've a son that lives in Middleton-on-Sea and he keeps winding me up :))))

I wish i could say its sunny here..but i cant, pouring down all day, garden looks a sorry site..:o(

It´s the same here in Germany...in my part in anycase...heavy rain mixed with a bit of blue cloud....we just have to make the best of it.

Carol, your son can stop laughing now as it's turned grey, cool & breezy in the last hour ... :o((

sorry youve had so much rain clarice... not to bad here, its been dry some sun and windy, yesterday we had a bit of rain in the morning but not much.... hope you ge tsome sun soon...

the same here Clarice, so much rain its killing all the hanging baskets and tubs,rained all night, dry today so we managed to get to the food and drink festival, but trying to rain again now, Lobelia all ready to be pulled out, and its only August, Begonia flowers laying all over the place.

Snap my lobelia needs pulling out now, Shirley it stopped for abit about 3-30 but still it was very dull, and now it looks like its going to pour it down again,Holly there are quite afew pots that needs to be empty, as like Yorkshire the heavy rain and wind as ruined them :((

Oh Yorkshire, that's not good news. you must be so disappointed with the weather ... :o((

Carol, I've put a blog on for you! ... :o))))

Thanks Shirley :))

You're welcome, Carol ... :o)))

I know how you feel. We've been sticking the heating on. It's so miserable (and cold). What can you do?

Absolutely nothing, Sheila! ..... No heating on down here yet, just a fleece top added on ... :o((

you are having it bad this year Carol,and when you think how much work goes into trying to have a lovely display,it's so demoralising..i think we have fared quite well,in comparison to you,this year....although,like Yorkshire,we had heavy rain during the night....Why don't you both try cutting your Lobelias back,as they usually go on to flower again,late into autumn ? I have done mine,as I know they start looking so straggly..but worth a try..

Hi Bloomer thanks for telling me about cutting lobelia back, i will give it a go tomorrow, its been dry today everyone been in garden most of day, cleaning up the grass is so wet can't cut it, but if it stays dry over night i should be able to cut it (fingers crossed)

I'm sure they will be lovely again,Carol..and it doesn't take so long for them to flower.Mine have never failed,so go for it..they will be more bushy too..hope it's been better weather for you today,its been nice here..not much sun,but quite warm and pleasant..
