The rain in Wales falls mainly
Rain. That's what's up in South Wales today. Or maybe I should say that's what's down.
We get a lot of rain in Wales but even for us this June has been bad. In the past June or even May has been 'summer' but this year we're stillwaitingfor that big yellow ball to appear in the sky for longer than one day.
But we're Welsh so we carry on. The jokes - the same as always - continue to flood our conversations and we smile stoically as we paddle across the grass. And we talk longingly and lovingly of the summer of 76. 'Duw, it was hotback then, bach.'
Oh yes the long hot summer of 76 - I was 9 - happydayson the beach, remember the huge swarms of ladybirds and the tar melting on the roads?

Yes, 1976 there was an earth tremor in Roath Park during that really hot summer. I was living in Roath and it was a really weird sensation. The heat was unbelievable too. But what I remember most of Cardiff was the rain.
My husband is from derby and healwaystold me we had excessive rain in Swansea butIdidn't believe him until we lived in Southampton for a time.
