This weekend's weather

[Catso]

Here is Derbyshire, it has been raining fairly non-stop since Friday. And not just drizzling, really hammering down at times. Most of last week was wet as well. Roads and fields are flooded and new streams have magically appeared.

What has the weather been like in the drought-stricken south-east in the past week? Have you had more water than the land can cope with?

Aye, it's wet and breasy here in West Yorkshire too. But I love this sort of weather anyway. It keeps Indoorswoman indoors so she can't hang the washing out. She complains about the birds whoopsying all over everything. The birds are more active when it's wet and I've had great dollops of magpie droppings to clean up!

I've had to move all the feeders to the smaller front garden (15 feet by 18 feet). But we're high up and overlooking a small valley to the south. Should attract a few more varieties of smaller bird, like goldcrest and chaffinch. I have seen them, but not in the back garden where we only get starlings, great tits, blue tits, sparrows and the much bigger birds.

Sorry Catso.I know you asked for comments from the Southeast, but I just had to get my "oar" in. We live on the side of a mountain and won't ever be flooded out, unlike some unfortunate families in the worst hit flood plains.

Good luck to all you Southerners over there, where ever you are!
