Another drab day again, 12c in moderate rain. Not at all what was in the forecast last night, the UKMO have been very poor with their forecasts for my part of the world recently. Can't really blame them though, who want to forecast another day of crap?
I've been an angler for 31 years and can honestly say this is the worst summer I've ever known. Much worse than the late 80's which seem to stand out in most peoples minds. I was up in North Yorks near Topcliffe last weekend and the river Nidd was in field after field, you couldn't actually see where the river itself was. Lots of farmland flooded, it must be hard for them. Plus this week the great Yorkshire Show was cancelled for the first time in 154 years, that speaks for itself.
