Wow, that is quite the brood and must keep you very busy. Wales is just beautiful - I visited a small portion of it a few years ago. Right now, sitting in a place where the temperature has been in the triple digits every day for the past three weeks, I can't help but envy you sitting in Wales enjoying cooler temps.

Anyway,

Wales is just rain rain and oh look more rain right now! Yes its a green and verdant place but its because the plants get plenty of water! lol

I'm from South Wales, and can confirm - it's green for a reason!

I'm from Melbourne, Australia which is in the garden state and got that reputation because it rains a lot there. Now I live in Kansas, USA where right now the "grass" is dry and crispy underfoot because we are in a drought and haven't had enough rain for several years. I would so love to see a little more green, though I know the rain also gets old.

Im lucky, i love the rain and so do my ducks............the chooks arent that keen on it but they are welsh chooks so used to it lol!
