    My eyes have felt gritty and I have noticed cars coated with dirty looking dust, is it down to dust blown up from African desert.

    Same in Northumberland. Had to wash the garden furniture down this morning that was also covered.

    The farmers are cutting and transporting grain to storage, we get it every year August/September.

    My fault. I washed the car yesterday. Rare enough event anyway, but that's what it will have been.
