August has been lousy but the rest of the time since May has been excellent down here - I think it's been a good summer this year, hot days have been very hot here.
pasta, I posted earlier to you but perhaps you didn't see it - the thread where you said you could see Plymouth Sound. My sister used to live in Mount Batten, and OH lived in Heybrook Bay when he was a child.
same as boxtops: damp August but in June-July our lawn was looking very yellow. It hasn't done that for years - the last two summers were non-events but this one has been a partial event, which is a big improvement.
