St Swithuns Day


There is a saying in the UK that if it rains on St Swithuns day it will do so for 40 days & nights. It did not look like it would when I took these photos.


 This was taken around 2 pm in the courtyard at work
This was around 21:30 in the evening.
St Swithun's day if thou dost rain
For forty days it will remain
St Swithun's day if thou be fair
For forty days 'twill rain nae mare
