There has been a red weather warning issued for our area this afternoon.. Something of a rarity... Very scary at the moment..and a months rain in 2 days.... Is this the price we have to pay for having had a good Summer? Having said this.. My heart breaks for those down south..I just cant imagine how devastated they all are...

I've just traveled from Worcester back to Brum and it's the worst
weather i've had to drive through in the UK. Strong winds, falling branches
and full speed window wipers couldn't cope. Cars pulling onto the hard
shoulder of the M 5 north.                 Stay safe.

We've had 1 ft. of rain dumped on us since New Year. High winds blew the felting off my shed and knocked down my fence. In the past we've got used to being attacked by tornados. Today we've had a bloody earthquake. I'm starting to think somebody's got it in for us. I blame the Tories (but then I always do).

Well news from the frozen North. We have had very mild weather this year, temperatures around 6-10 degrees. No snow or ice, no flooding, no sink holes.  Very sunny yesterday and today.  In fact, have been to the Garden Centre for some bedding plants.

How kind of you to mention it JH. I'm sure no-one will suppose you are being smug. Sorry about your antiques going green; did you not clean them properly?

Not smug at all. I have already expressed my concern for the poor people who have been flooded out, but as you complained about your weather.  I was referring to your recent posting to me in which you said I lived near the Arctic Circle.. I was letting you know that we have good weather in my area and not,  as a lot of people from Southern England seem to think that we in Scotland are always up to our necks in snow.    Antiques are not the only green thing on this Forum.
