I am interested in your comment about summer.  What is it and more to the point where is it? I can confidently say that it hasn't been seen around here for some considerable time, the longest day was incredibly wet and today we are back to wind that makes you have to hold on to your toupe.  I have vague hopes for and Indian summer in Sept/Oct but have learn't that in this neck of the woods that also is unlikely.  Apart from that it is a lovely day today!
