Wet, Wet, Wet!

I made a comment a couple of weeks ago that I had never seen so much rain fall in one place.....well, it is Ireland, it is August, and "shit happens"!


Normally very sedate like this....


Inistioge got a bit of a battering.....


And there will be no hurling for a few days....



To make it worse, we only returned home from Mallorca on Friday night, where the weather was more like summer. Sunny and 32C.


They say that global warming will mean more rainfall in the regions that now enjoy good rainfall figures! I don't think it's possible. We got 76mm in 24 hrs, supposedly a 1 in 150 yr occurance, and Dublin got that last weekend.....? They say it is the wettest August on record, but maybe only until next year? Will we survive?

It didn't seem to deter some folks though....!
