Today, we have patchy sun, it's still warm but it's windy, unhappily. I

Brilliant sunshine on the Isle of Wight with a lot of sun, but nowhere near

One shower last night and one this evening here in North Staffordshire,
not enough to do much good, not to contribute to the now empty butts.
Just dig a little with a trowel and I bet you will be disappointed with
how little the rain has reached.
