This is such a weird year for weather! I'd have sworn we'd get a
downpour last night but we got a tiny drizzle and then nothing. Today is
mainly clear blue sky and the wind is just a zephyr from the west. It
seems to b e a year of prolonged dry spells and then ferocious downpours
- one succeeding the other.

I prefer that over endless drizzle.

So do I and a good soak is very beneficial to the garden - but only if
the sun comes back!

However my neighbours down the hill were not impressed with the monsoon
and marble sized hailstones last week - quite a lot of flash flooding.
My lawn was under an inch of water just on account of the clay.

We didn't see hail but we had some torrential rain for a while and the
paths were running with water. But it's back to watering every morning
now.
