Not really but a couple of tenants on our field were watering last
week.... we had a few decent days but I didn't think it merited a watering

I listened to the whole programme in amazement because of its lack of
topicality. They were even basking in sunshine at Sparsholt!


In my opinion (no one takes any notice mind) the BBC has lost its way. A
large number of its programmes are made by private companies, big
mistake. Whether it is un-topicality of Gardeners Question time or
spinning the Queen!

Some parts of GQT are topical. I have been involved with GQT recordings
which were broadcast three days later. As for the weather, let's not
forget that a) there have been one or two nice days in the
south/midlands in the last couple of weeks; and b) the torrential rain
hasn't fallen across the whole country: I have friends in Scotland, the
North-East and the South-East coast who claim to have had relatively
little rainfall.
