Not as bad as forecast. Torrential from about 3pm yesterday and then light throughout evening, three downpours today, total rain so far 25.1mm (just under an inch), lovely afternoon now, temp around 20° Garden has obviously appreciated it. Tomorrow (here) evidently the last totally dry and sunny day and then showery for around 10 days. I'm more concerned with late August into early September when I'm on hols Oop North ......

It is, indeed; known as "Barney" to its friends. The Bowes Museum is well worth a visit - and one of those telly antiques experts has his shop there, but don't expect a Bargain Hunt!Originally posted by Anna View PostAye-Aye, there's posh isn't it?

I'm sure Anna will keep us right, but I think Teeside and Teesdale are quite different places.Originally posted by Serial_Apologist View Post
OT, it's been a dreadful day here - raining all day, and cold. I've had to put on a jersey for the first time in weeks. Next, it'll be winter draw(er)s on.

Well, they are both on the River Tees! Teeside is N. Yorks, Middlesborough, Stockton-on-Tees, etc., where the Tees ends in the N. Sea, Teesdale is where the Tees starts in the N. Pennines and is Co. Durham, absolutely beautiful countryside and I'm sure ferney will know Cauldron Snout and High Force well if he knows the Bowes! (Won't be much water in them now though)Originally posted by mangerton View Post
OT: It has gone a lot colder, still lovely and sunny though at the moment.Comment

Was up in London today, a very pleasant day's weather for visitors and locals alike.
Also found a rather good place for a bite to eat.
Zizzi at Bankside has absolutely terrific views right over the river. restaurant is what it is, but I would imagine it would be hard to find a better vista with something decent to eat at a sensible price in the Capital.
Spent an hour or two in THE Tate Modern after lunch. Loads of folk in there.I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Pouring with rain here in Newport. July has been a hectic month here with builders etc. We've had some brilliantly sunny days but temps have been (thankfully) on the cool side. Today's weather is too bad for the folks who are attending the Newport Jazz Festival this weekend.Comment
