That would be brilliant if we could choose and if anyone manages to remember what a proper summer is.   :blink:  ;)

Never keep your wish-bone where your back-bone ought to be.

It's a fact that proper summers only happened in the 50's & 60's. The days were long and warm, but not too hot - just like Camelot - and went on for weeks and weeks, although we never suffered a drought.

Can someone help me, I've just dropped my rose coloured glasses and can't see a thing without them!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

You can borrow mine DD - only one lense is cracked.  :lol:

(Back on topic!)
   And in those days leeks grew fat and white without bolting, rust or leek moth.  ;)
