I don't know about anyone else but I remember early this year the Met office said we were going to have a BBQ summer, then it rained lots in June and July and they retracted the statement. Well I think they should have held out a bit longer because the weather at Titchwell for the Coastal Change project has been incredible. We just couldn't have been luckier. Since the contractors arrived on site we have had the occasional short downpour but not a proper days rain since they started. Phew! Remembering last autumn when it rained every day fills me with horror as if we had been working then we would have been way behind schedule as it all has to stop during the rain as the ground conditions deteriorate so much. This weekends tides were a good reminder of why we are undertaking the project. Really big spring tides where all the surrounding saltmashes were underwater and the reserve became a penisular for a few hours. I'll stick some pictures up. Keep your fingers crossed the good weather carries for us for a little bit longer!
Hi Helen
I am glad to hear that the weather is on your side at Titchwell. All the work that has been going on - at least it has not been hampered in any way at all. It would have a disaster working with water, and having water from the heavens to make a mud slide or a bog {eek}
We never know what we are going to get next in the UK. First sun, then rain, snow and wind all in one day
Not so much in England, but in Scotland, oh yes, we have had all types of weather in one day - so it a different climate all together.
Yes, England is a different ball game with the change of weather fronts, and it is a much better place to be anyday!
Milder is a big word to use, and it is! {thumbs up}
Regards
Kathy and Dave
