[Magdalen] weather report...

[Charles Wohlers]

Right now we're having a nice, gentle, "English" rain. However, my rain gage 
has measured well over 8" (20cm) of rain this month, which they say is the 
fourth wettest June in 150 years. So things are growing like mad, and it 
looks like we'll have a bumper year for blackberries and so lots of 
blackberry jam. Had our first strawberry shortcake yesterday, with more to 
come.

People here talk about the rain in Britain.  Until you have experienced
rain in the US, and I don't think I have witnessed quite that rate of
rainfall, you don't know what rain is.  The rainwater drains we have
would be totally inadequate to cope.
