It's raining here and has been raining daily for the last month. It is certainly very green, the gardens are lush and to think there were worries about a drought in April. We had our driest and hottest April on record! According to lengend we can expect more rain for the next forty days and nights- now that's something to look forward to! Hopefully it won't come to past and we will have time to dry out.

St Swithen's Day in SE England was warm, and some sun so maybe there is hope for you yet in the next 40 days. I do like the PB cover of Weatherland. Read via the library earlier this year but it's a book I want on my shelves!

Karen - this reference to St Swithun has taken me back to my childhood and many visits to St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate. Thank you.

Amazing right now to think about rain, as we here in Los Angeles are experiencing a record drought and wild fires. Rain would be wonderful right now! I also have Weatherland and plan to read it soon. I have been dipping into it a bit and love what I have read so far!
