Wet, windy and very cold Wales!

Good to read that despite the weather you are being entertained. Like any parent the need to care, feed and provide for your family is overwhelming. So whatever the species the weather can't overrule important tasks 😉.

Pretty breezy here in Essex with beefy showers today had plenty of rain, for us 😉 over the last couple of days. Garden was grateful for the rain but that and the wind are ruining blooms 😢

"Wet, windy and Very Cold Wales"

We tend to call it Summer.

We are on Welsh Coast Merve, down over Estuary from Barmouth, here for another week. It was so cold yesterday I lit stove in cottage. I had forgotten just how much it rains in Wales, but yesterday was torrential. Better today though, hopefully nice tomorrow. Then no doubt back to rain, and more rain etc..... 

Contrary to popular belief, Wales is no wetter than parts of Cornwall, Lancashire, Lake district (clue in the name) and western Scotland. Try staying to the East of the mountains, you may be surprised how much better the weather is. By the way, those of you in the arid lands in S.E England and East Anglia are in for a good soaking this week. Welcome to our world.

Our part of Yorkshire is usually very dry. We expect it to rain at some point in Wales, although I suspect last year was superb. Had a glorious day today, but back to the wet tomorrow 😁

We were in the New Forest last week and had a really good soaking on Friday 7/06 and through the night into Saturday. Stayed on a Camping in the Forest site. If you like close to nature Quite a bit of wildlife wondering around the site and very peaceful.
