Sumer is icumen in, Lhude sing cuccu

Weather's beautiful right now. Really warm (for England in May that is) and sunny. The swifts and swallows are back and swooping and diving majestically through the sky. The trees are in blossom. My allotment is looking good. The broad beans are in flower, the lettuces are coming along a treat. Even the carrots are starting to show. You'd almost think summer was on the way.

The forecast for the rest of the week is for similar weather with even higher temps. Up to 21c on Friday. It's almost unheard of - it's the Devon County Show this coming weekend - it always rains for the County show. It wouldn't be the same if it wasn't a total mud-bath. And here we are - sunny and warm. It's not right, I tell you, not right at all!!

I'm just commenting mind - not complaining - I wouldn't want anybody to get the wrong idea and start a rain-dance or something.
