Blink and summer has just passed - maybe?

What a hellish year we have had ( here in parts of Scotland),  rain, snow, rain, more snow and yet more rain.  Was looking out the window into the rain and my poor bulbs in the garden were sitting in three inches of water. Ground is so sodden that bulbs are rotting.    However, so far, no hurricanes, and nothing we cannot cope with apart from the escalating gas and electric bills -  just how arre some folks expected to manage. Use more energy, bigger profits for the energy companies and their shareholders,  but can we just keep switching left right and centre.
