The poxy weather...

Someone had to say it!

I'm by no means the worst off in the country but as a landscaper/gardener this weather is doing my nut. Can't start or finish projects, no enquiries, no one even thinking about their garden when normally things would be picking up. I even tried to start a small fencing job last week but found the water table about a foot below the surface, and that was just before another monsoon hit.

And there's more to come.

Even Wales is noticeably wetter than usual :?
All attempts to go for a ride are met by a wall of water, this has resulted in unusually high tea and cake intake

I too am totally sick of all the rain and wind :evil:

I can't wait or the first warm sunny days of spring be here and the trails to get lovely and dusty instead of muddy!!

At least with the weather being so bad it forces you to do some much needed maintenance inside in the warm.

Anyone reckon that bike capes with make a dramatic comeback :?

It is a shame they don't play beach volleyball in the rain, those capes would come in mighty handy! Ironically a couple of my mates in landscaping are very busy right now thanks to the milder weather!

Batten down the hatches!!!! Gusting 70mph plus here already with worse to come :shock:
I'm feeling the benefit of being a bungalow between 2 2 storey properties but when i'm upstairs in the loft conversion its a bit eery hearing all the slates flapping about :?

I was trying to get to the house with the white gable end on the left. I used to live there and still do some work for my old landlord who's away all week. No work today though, frighteningly strong current from a little brook that normally runs UNDER the road...

This was the result of just one morning's rain (it wasn't up like this before today) and the fact that it is now backing up from Muchelney on the Somerset levels, there is just nowhere else for the water to go.

The poxy weather...
