July Showers

Haven't been a good blogger recently, but then the weather hasn't been the best to give me something to blog about.  Thus far August is continuing July's mixture of, I was going to say sunshine and showers, but actually showers, sunshine and an awful lot of cloud would be a better description.  It's not been that warm either : (

Maybe glorious hot summers are a thing of the past - or maybe we need to move to the other side of the country - the South East has been consistently hotter and drier!

PS - It looks like July may well have been a 'Smith Period' - defined by the RHS as specific combinations of temperature and rainfall that increase the risk of blight (see later post!).
