Re: Early Autumn?
Although it has rained long and hard here (almost 50 mm/2 inches of rain in 24 hours), we haven't experienced serious problems, The situation in the south-east of the country is disastrous, however - hundreds or thousands of houses flooded, a bridge swept away, ...
Best wishes,

Eerily reminiscent of a couple of lines from an early draft of a poem by Wordsworth about a puddle:
I've measured it from side to side
'Tis three feet long and two feet wide.

Re: Early Autumn?
Thanks, John! I didn't remember the Wordsworth lines.
I'm certain you recognized the opening lines to Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening." I was remiss in not crediting Frost but assumed all would be familiar with the lines.
