Back to wet, wet, wet here too. Incredible. The farmers are already struggling, and if this affects the hay crop in June/July, that's also going to hurt. :(

We seem to be very fortunate here with no flooding, no excesses of rain - the constant wind dries the wet very quickly and everything is growing at the rate we might expect for the time of year.
Like @DominicBest our strawberry plants are doing extremely well !
But so are the weeds .....

Half our "lawn" is so bad, I think the only solution would be to rotovate and re-seed (not that we'll do it ...).

Looking at the 15 day forecast it's rain everyday except one up to the 28th.

Heavy rain here, again, and pretty cold at only 11°. Don't think I can remember a May like this in 13 years.

I know ! So frustrating. We have an outdoor tiling project that may never get finished !

Considering Meteo France can't seem to get the forecast right beyond 48 hours (and often not then), I'm hoping it will change.

Hang washing outside or hang washing inside?
The sun is shining weakly now but ... looking at the sky inside wins (again)
How do people live without at least one dog in the house?

Same here. I managed to hang it outside last Saturday - miracle as it was we had a tiny bit of sun last Saturday..

We've just had a cracking thunderstorm and heavy downpour. It's now moving west and the sky's brightening up :D

Managed to do the monthly cut for the neighbour's holiday home yesterday - and now we're back to heavy rain. FFS. :(
