Summer Time!
Still no great signs of real Summer weather even though we have had a few days of broken sunshine between showers, but no great heat. Certainly not beach weather anyhow. July is usually a warm dry month with the exception of last year which was also very wet. It looks like we are going to have to grit out teeth and make the most of whatever comes our way with the weather forecasting more rain…
