I've spent all afternoon watering the vegetable garden. Weather forecast
said "possibility of light rain this evening", so I thought I'd better
water it since the ground was bone dry. I'd just finished when a big
black
cloud came over and dropped an inch of rain over twenty minutes
accompanied with enough sparks in the sky to run a power station. Such
is
life. I've never seen it rain so hard. It has even washed a rut in my
gravel drive which became a temporary stream.

We have just had a few minutes light rain this morning, enough to just lay
the dust and damp the stray cat that lives under our bbq and now the sun
is
out again. So it's watering as usual today.

Go West young man! Plenty here.

Not a further drop all day, been out on the allotment this afternoon
planting young winter/spring brassicas and the ground is bone dry, have to
dig down 6 inches at least to see any sign of moisture. Wish I'd taken a hat
it was so warm.
