Robert the end of March here WAS Summer, it was far too hot for the time of year and I was in the garden every day. Now that it IS Summer gardening has been almost non existent, however the weather is improving and yesterday actually turned out very warm in the afternoon.

I like the older names best. Sri Lankan tea doesn't sound the same as Ceylon Tea - does it?

Same with Rhodesia and Zimbabwe.

Marian I was talking hypothetically about Ceylon tea, I like the tea you get an OOO with! :lol:

If I'm not drinking tea (or wine) it's Cap Colombie coffee, I only made the percolated stuff if I have guests or sometimes I just make it to see if my filter machine is still working!

The UK has sufferd it wettest EVER April - June period :roll: ..................but apparently the Jet Stream which has a big bearing on our summer weather is moving further north very soon and will be taking all the wet and rainy "low" depressions with it .......(hopefully) :) :) ..................roll on summer, just in time for the Olympics :D
