Weather for Ducks



We met these delightful little ducks last Friday. LB's cousin bought them recently as pets & they live in his back garden. I'm just thinking they must be feeling very at home there today after this mornings torrential rain.



We seemed to have developed a pond in our front garden bed and a river is flowing down the lane at the side of the house. According to the news there has been flooding locally this morning and road closures due to the rain.

Checking with the met office website I see we had 170% of the average August rainfall this year. It looks as though September could well follow suit. apparently 4" of rain has fallen in the past 48 hours & we've hardly had a dry day since the end of July. It's very frustrating but I hope it's just due to natural variation in the weather. I have read that global warming could bring cold wet summers to western Britain as the jet stream will move further south. I hope not. We tend to forget how far north we are here as we're used to such a temperate climate. We're off camping for the weekend in a weeks time so fingers crossed it will dry up by then!

Elvie.
