    Doesn't appear so - maybe some cells to the south - but look at the UK!

    Only lovely,the new spuds are a bit on the small side due to lack of rain.
    The Rocking Food Festival is on the bank holiday weekend here in Enniscorthy so I'm hoping the sun comes back after this weekend.

    On the same topic i.e.rain. Is anybody familiar with this expression 'it will rain itself out'- when it's raining so much that by the next morning it will have  stopped raining as there won't be any rain left in the sky! I said it to an Englsih friend a while back and I had to explain it. Is it an Irish expression?What would be a 'standard' English equivalent- thanks!

    ... a measly 3mm. As I feared the Wicklow rain shadow considerably weakened the band of heavy rain that moved up from the south. More rain approaching south Wexford now but I see no reason why there shouldn't be a repeat performance for the Dublin area - in other words, only a few mms.

    It was lovely last night, as the daylight faded, listening to heavy rain, and hearing the thirsty land drinking deep, and the dessicated roots expanding and reaching upwards.. past the scorched surface...

    Still raining; cats coming n dripping wet....

    Reading posts here..

    A healing.
