Oh no - We have just had a few minutes of rain as I drove back from seeing DJ - That now means it will rain for the next 40 days!!
For those who don't know what I'm talking about -
If it rains for on St Swithin's Day, then it will rain for the next 40 days - a tradition that goes back a long time, as you can see
here.
btw - Is it just an English custom - or do the rest of the world watch the weather on July 15th??
Mmmm, I wondered if the tradition had spread, but thought it may just have stayed here where it originated.
My grandmother always said that the sun always shone on Easter Sunday!!!!
Thanks for letting me know.
We have a lot of traditions - but we have had a lot of history!
