Sorry about the Rhodie, though.

It's still got a few flower buds, so there will be some at the proper
time, but at least two thirds were too eager and got frosted off.

I hope it's the latter, because I don't see how we can get one more
millilitre of rain onto the land!

I know I will be praying for rain before too long!

Good grief, where are you?! The water is running off the fields and down
the sides of our lanes as if they were stream beds. And yesterday we drove
up to Dulverton which is Exmoor way and acres and acres of land are under
water.

Sounds pretty dramatic! There's plenty of wetness around here (Herts)
too this weekend and half my back lawn has decided it would rather be a
pond for a few days. But it is the first time since January that it's
stopped me getting out at the weekend, so I can't complain too much. I
was thinking of May rather than next week when I said 'too long'.
