    Good quality rain there. We are having it on and off too but I'm not complaining - the ground is bone dry. I've been watering my vegetables but the flowers need it too. And the sprinkler never does the same job as rain. I hope your plot is benefitting too .

    Pouring here but I am pleased - the garden needs it. I have still had to water my baskets though!

    Robert - You lucky man. We had nothing 15 miles away in Harrogate. We could do with some here.

    We have had our fair share in West Norfolk today and even now as I type this, but then it has been Bootful as Bernard Matthews would say. I have just come in from taking our dog out.

    How strange... we sure had our fair share yesterday. Just had a look out the window and some of the flowers are looking well bedragled.
    Pond is nicely topped up and the spuds have had a good drink
