The message
from Sacha contains these words:

You've got it too? ;-( The wind hasn't been strong here today but it's
getting up now and the rain is still doing what it does best - falling
relentlessly out of the sky. Truly, I believe this country can only make a
fortune if it cuts taxes to 10% and bribes everyone to move here. Nobody
would come for the climate!

How short memories are!

Remember dry reservoirs? Rivers down to trickles? Streams dried-up?

How long is it since there was a scare that we were becoming an arid region?

Not in these parts! Even when they were banning the use of hosepipes 'up
country', our reservoirs were about 90% full. There's a reason Devon's so
green!! ;-)
