    Midweek Message 273. Where is the summer? Heatwave rain wind. Garden centres, nurseries, coffee...

    Where's the summer? Where, indeed? Rain one minute, a heatwave the next minute... Crikey! Are garden centres not much more than restaurants these days? What happened to nurseries where plants were relatively cheap and you couldn't buy coffee? Happy days!
