Summer 2011

Mornin' Y'all

Spending a few days in North Carolina where they all seem to speak like they do in Deputy Dawg if anyone remembers that. Keeping an eye on the forum when I can. The summer here has been too hot and dry so the maize in the fields has, in some places, burnt up before the plants got far enough for a crop. Not so in Scotland.

Have a look at this from the Met Office:

This is a rather nice way to see the variation across the UK.

From what I remember of last week, August is going to be rather similar ... but if it is brighter now maybe all is not lost for those of us with bees at the heather.
