I hate to say it but I much preferred the weather we had last week rather than what we have this week. Apart from keeping the dust down, it kept the pollen levels down. Hay fever is very tiresome, I noticed the levels starting to rise on Sunday & a large part of the journey back was slow & unpleasant. Pulling into a rural layby was no solution, my best hope was to keep going until I hit an area with what I assume had lower levels or at least a different type of pollen.
Sorry but I'm glad it wasn't a scorcher last week. In previous years I have had to resort to wearing a respirator although that certainly helps, it does open oneself to even more ridicule than usual
