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

Pah, you think it's wet down there, try Princetown. )

Sacha, going O/T. I used to have a pub in Princetown and always
enjoyed our flying visits to your fine establishment to pick up
various (usually) hardy plants to fill our summer planters, the wife
and I even managed to enjoy an occassional summer cream tea out on the
lawn, in the company of your very friendly sparrows (or whatever they
were?). What a great place for you to live and work, definately the
good life.
