BBC NEWS | UK | Where has the UK's summer gone?

After the wettest June since detailed records began, this month has seen rain every day except one so far here in Stockport. And it's not as if it is a brief thunderstorm at the end of a hot balmy day. Oh no. It has rained and rained and rained, day after day.

The sheer misery and tedium of having no nice weather to take Oliver out to the park or for a bike ride is only set in relief by the terrible floods others have suffered.

Unfortunately, it seems this weather is to be with us for weeks to come.

But at least it has meant Hayley hasn't suffered hay fever for weeks now!
