If any of you live in England you'll probably appreciate a bright, sunny picture to cheer up your Bank Holiday Weekend. We've been sitting under a blanket of grey cloud for several weeks now and even going into May hasn't brought about any change. We're famous for talking about the weather in England - which isn't really surprising given its unpredictability. March was hot and sunny (most unusual), April was grey and wet (instead of sunny and showery) and May has so far been chilly and damp (instead of sunny and warm) and is apparently likely to remain that way.
Mind you, we needed some rain - we had already been told that hose pipes were banned in many parts of the country and the drought that has brought our rivers and reservoirs very low looked like continuing. So as much as I dislike the grey skies, the rain was much needed and is bringing out the beautiful fresh new leaves on the trees and encouraging the grass to sprout lush and green. Even if it rains for the whole of May, we will still need a steady drizzle throughout the summer to end the drought. Whatever we have coming - I hope you enjoy some photographs of sunflowers that I took last summer to remind you of the colour of sunshine. Have a happy weekend!
