Just had a nice afternoon out. Took a few photos and thought I would share them.
Just up the A28 from home, Great Dixter House and gardens. I have driven past loads of times
but never stopped before.

Its the mild climate down on the south coast. A lot of the spring flowers are on the way out already.
We have had Daff's out since Jan and the Bluebells are out already. Its a bit of a pain if you like gardening
as we have only had one proper day of rain in the last month and the ground is like concrete.

Very nice!

I think around 40 truck loads to clear the garden to build a nice workshop, and you're done

No need. The oast house and barn in the grounds was about 150' x 40'

Being an island we get our fair share but the north and west get the most as it blows in off the Atlantic.
I live on the coast in the south east so escape most of it. We are only about 50km from mainland Europe,
If we get southerly winds for a few days it brings the warm air from the south of France/Spain.

How much a year do you get?

Here in Cowangie, which is 10 mins North of the Big Desert and 15 mins South of the Murray Sunset National Park, we get 8" of rain a year. So far, we had 10mm (Less than 1/2") on 6th February and not a drop since. Photos of rain appreciated.

It's nice when we can get to use a car for pleasure. Nice one.
