Is this the 3rd or 4th washout summer in a row? It seems like the norm now.

Looks like we're going to have a few winter weekend breaks to make up for the less summer ones we've had, it's colder but you often get crisp clear days.

Out of the three since we bought our current van, this is the worst.

We were away at the weekend, and the toilet needed emtying at about 7pm.  Our son was visting, and becaue his car was handiest he took me and the cassette to the emptying point in torrential rain.

The rain was so bad we just sat in the car, while others squelched through mud  to get water/ empty their own toilets.  He looked at one person, soaked to the skin, shoes and trousers covered in mud, trundling his Aquaroll - and then turned to me and asked 'Why"?

I couldn't give him a satisfactory answer at the time - and, thinking more about it, I still can't ;)

ask any farmer, our weather calendar has change in recent years...  Warm dry May/June.  Warm & sometimes wet July.  August washout and two weeks of sun in september.  It's brought Harvest forward but means that we get intermitent rain once comibing time gets here. :(

My mum and dad are staying at st mawes and they said the weather has been awful, our best friends travelled down to bude friday and they've said they had some sun yesterday but the rest of it has been crap. I hope this weather cheers up for you all,
