It rained for most of the day on Friday and Saturday putting gardening activities on hold.

| Temperature & Rainfall Data 07-09 June 2019 |
There's no doubting that we badly needed some decent rainfall for the garden and allotment so I can't complain about a couple of wet days. In all, over the two days, we managed 13.6mm (0.54in) of rainfall which makes the month's total a very healthy 28.0mm or 1.1in.
Of course this wet interlude could just be a bit of a blip in a longer spell of dry weather or a return to the more normal type of rainfall pattern we might expect. At the moment it seems like we are in for a cool and changeable June with more wet weather to come through the coming week.
With gardening on hold on Saturday we had a trip out to Colton Junction to photograph a steam locomotive, 45690 Leander on a charter train from Manchester to Scarborough.
I found out that holding an umbrella in one hand to keep the rain off my camera whilst attempting to pan and zoom the camera with my other hand isn't as easy as I imagined. We were rather lucky though as although it was raining lightly as Leander steamed through the light rain turned into a downpour as we headed away from Colton for some lunch.
