It might as well rain until September.

Its now September 1st and it has. As we approach the end of what most regard as being the wettest summer in sixty years the rain continues to fall on virtually a daily basis. This blog was hoping to avoid too much concentration on the crap state of the climate but as its all that most people are talking about it seems unavoidable. Unless you are one of those people lucky enough to be able to escape to sunnier climes, its looking like a very long haul to next spring and hopefully, a better summer in 2009. The real voices of doom are already informing us though that you usually have three summers of similar weather so it could be 2010 before we can expect to see better times. The weather coinciding with a worsening economic climate should ensure that the manufacturers of anti depressant medicines are not likely to face bankruptcy in the near future, unlike many of those the medcines are designed to help.

Perhaps the only answer is to pursuade some american millionaire to buy up Silverton and its inhabitants, to dismantle the village and to ship us all across the Atlantic and reestablish us a theme park in some sunny location.

Well out of the hurricane belt, of course.
