A remarkable header given the soggy summers of the past two or three years but now the situation has changed dramatically. Not a drop of rain has fallen in July thus far and only one day has seen cloud cover. For three weeks the sun has blazed down on the combe, bleaching the fields and lawns as grass has died away.
Inevitably, now cometh the thunderstorms and accompanying heavy rain and they could appear anytime from Monday - but more likely later in the week.
The rain will also be an absolute blessing for wildlife in the combe - particularly badgers who have been having a really rough time.
