I may hold you to that - driven indoors by the rain this evening - a week to go in July and it's only been marginally better than June hereabouts......... -
Visiting relatives of friends I was staying with in Belguim years ago I found they had a smallish house but with what I can only describe as an interior courtyard. Enclosed rooms surrounded a 20 by 20 feet space with a retractable roof, plants, chairs and a small fountain.
Is this common in Europe or elsewhere? I haven't travelled enough to know, but would have loved to own that house.Comment

Back to rain and showers all next week, apparently...Originally posted by salymap View Post
By Saturday the cooler air will be across all of the country, and it does now look as though next week low pressure will be in charge of the weather, with showers or longer spells of rain in all parts at times, and close to average temperatures.
S_A can you confirm or deny?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Yes it does appear that the jet stream is going to dip south again tomorrow night, announced by a lot of expected thundery activity here in the SE, then back to daytime temperatures around 3 or 4 degrees C below July normal.Originally posted by Caliban View PostBack to rain and showers all next week, apparently...

At least I won't be given to be waking up at 6 every morning, opening all windows to catch some of that still cool night time air, then closing them all again at 9. And saly will be relieved.Comment

Your history is wayward ams. Have you found QUEEN'S HALL by Robert Elkin yet. A good read. And if you looked up a bit you would see Spitfires every year when there is a fly-past in London. Still think it's a beautiful plane,Originally posted by amateur51 View PostI guess that salymap's one of the few on here who may've seen a Spitfire in action

My dad and I would stand in the garden in 1940/1 and watch the dog fights over Kent. We were, like one or two others on this MB, very near to Biggin Hill and gamba was busy looking after the planes, bless.
We cut down our plane spotting a bit when a school-friend's father was killed in the garden by schrapnelComment
