I only ever grew tomatoes and strawberries. Only had it for 2 years, never got round to expanding production any further.

12C and partially cloudy. Expected to reach 21C later today with rain around teatime.

We had a bit of rain here yesterday evening, not much though. More forecast for late evening and through the night.

Still no rain, cloudy and 12c this morning

Lovely day, sunny for our clay pigeon shooting which Will really enjoyed, and was really good at - only missed 3 out of 30 and we’ve already booked another session - this could get expensive!

Back home for a BBQ and the rain did arrive as predicted, but luckily 5 minutes after I had finished cooking.

Motorbike show at Stonham Barns to walk round tomorrow morning, maybe a shower or two, more chance late afternoon/evening but we will be at step-father in law’s 70th birthday party by then. Busy weekend by my standards.

We had some rain at tea time as predicted but was barely enough to wet the ground, although it was enough to give off that 'water on hot cement' smell so that was something.

Started again once it got dark and hammering down now.

13C, hazy blue sky. Expected to reach 19C around midday with rain around teatime.

Drizzle here, whole week ahead looks crap now.

10c after a very wet night dry but cloudy

An OK day. Light cloud, so not sunny but warm.

The promised rain for yesterday evening and night was light and lasted about 10 mins.
