sallybowles, Yes! they are different questions apart from one which was accidently included.
Thanks to all who answer, a new face on the subject makes all the difference. Thanks again.

2. a wet summer.

From the proverb: ' Oak before ash - only a splash: ash before oak - a regular soak.'

[Diane1954]

thanks kettledrum. I quoted this to a friend and she'd never heard the rhyme.
