Hi Bill

I'm in Newton Abbot in Devon (between Exeter and Torquay) and its raining. Steady wet stuff, not too heavy but constant. The wind is starting to get up a bit. The sky is a sheet of overcast grey. No flooding for me 'cos I'm on a hill over-looking the town. Its not cold; rather warm really.

This area of Devon seems to be a little more sheltered from the wind SSW 18km/h and the forecast is clearing during the evening to showers.

So in conclusion, it's not too good for the roses and useless for doing the laundry. The dogs look miserable, but as it might ease up later; there is always hope.

So it looks like your the lucky one.

Bright sunshine and a nice warm breeze here. No sign of the forecast rain so far, but there`s time yet

Central Scotland - Bermuda shorts weather up here, as long as you have a brolly and wellies handy. As well as the sun there is rain and wind.

I've always wanted a pond but the unplanned small lake where my patio was isn't really what I wanted! Hasn't stopped raining all day.

Still, I'm still giggling - my hubby's taken some of his residents away this week and is in a caravan on the top of a cliff in Dorset in the rain and wind! Shame!

This reminds me of a little song sang by a certain scottish comedian.
Lyrics to The Welly Boot Song by Billy Connolly:

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have your feet in your wellies

Oh wellies they are wonderful, oh wellies they are swell
'Cause they keep out the water and they keep in the smell
And when you're sitting in a room you can always tell
When some oeoeoeoeoeoe takes off his wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have your feet in your wellies

Oh and when you're out walking in the country with a bird
And you're strolling over fields just like a farmer's herd
And somebody shouts, "Keep off the grass" and you think how absurd
and SQUELCH you find why farmers all wear wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have your feet in your wellies

There's fishermen and firemen, there's farmers and all
Men out digging ditches and working in the snow
This country it would grind to a halt and not a thing would grow
If it wasn't for the workers in their wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have you're feet in your wellies

Oh Edward, Heath and Wilson they haven't made a hit
So you'd better get your feet in your wellies

If it wasn't for your wellies where would you be
You'd be in the hospital or infirmary
'Cause you would have a dose of the flu or even pleurisy
If you didn't have you're feet in your wellies
