But when the rain stops what will we talk about? 'The summer of the big rains'?

Shirred bathing costume....Hmm.. memories of pockets of sand caught up in unmentionable places. : -(


...an improvement on the 'droop-to-the-knees' wet wool one though.

Prickles,
You might get some fantastic summer bargains in end of season sales.
There's sure to be a surplus of unsold summer stock this year.

You could always recline on your new sunbeds to eat your stew and dumplings.

Hi Julia

I have a pair of wellies that will last for the rest of my life.

Enough freebie umbrella's ....i don't think i will ever need to buy a new one.

I was going to replace my sunglasses this year, i wont bother now.

I always buy new flip flops for the summer....i won't bother now.

I have only bought one new summer jacket....no other summer clothes this year.

Was going to buy new garden sun beds this year...won't bother now.

Cushions for the patio chairs....i won't bother now.

Half the summer plants that i usually buy. No bbq charcoal or fire lighters. No wood for the chiminea.

I have not even seen or heard the ice cream van.

No gas bottle for the gas bbq or patio heater........

I could go on and on and on.

Forget the salads and bbq marinades...........i need hot stew and dumplings!!

This weather is going to have such a disastrous effect on any buisiness that thrives on summer trade.

The welly boot and umbrella manufacturers must be rubbing their hands together.
