I've had the white ones do it too - it is in a Xmas decoration and now it leans down in an S shape. This is one that one of the kids gave me for mothers day two years ago. When they bought it from the mothers day stall at school it was standing up fine but didn't last the first summer.

if they don't they're weeds.

I've tried to straighten others up by heating them but they just broke so I don't worry about it now... as Cheryl says... a good talking point

My candle was a large one - 8 cm across and about 12 cm high - and all that is left of it is the stain on the wood ...

Yes cooler now. Just burnt grass and 18 mature Manchurian Pears which are black but are still alive. But hey ... it's nothing compared to folk down south.

Great news Richard When I looked at your radar I thought you were all getting more than that but then I realised the colours are different to ours - the yellows and blues are swapped around - yellow here is fairly heavy, blues are light.

That's wonderful Richard I hope you get more.
Plenty of clouds around here doing not a thing
I wish I could shoot an arrow into them
