Soak Or Splash?
Posted
At this time of year keen followers of countryside tradition will be checking local trees for indications of our summer weather prospects.
The key guide is of course the competition between Oak and Ash trees to be first to produce their leaves. "Ash before Oak, we are in for a Soak; Oak before Ash, prepare for a Splash".
A walk round Denton yesterday clearly indicated the latter, so, fingers crossed, we can look forward to a dry summer.
