For the first time this year.

We keep getting rain forecast, but it never seems to turn up although
the rest of the country seems to be getting rain.

There was rain forecast for Wednesday, but again it seems to have
changed its mind and gone elsewhere.


I've taken the opportunity of a dry auge to water-proof it. It has been
leaking for years and this is the first time it has been empty enough to
do anything about it.

Where do you live Dave E? We will all go there for our holidays!


If you mean me, I live in Felixstowe which is a holiday resort.
By all means come for your holidays - it is really nice here unless you want
some rain on your garden.
Lots of B&B, hotels, camp sites, caravan parks.
[I have no financial interest as we try and avoid the Grockles ;-) ]

Good place for growing tomatoes as well, because first frosts can be as late
as November (I've had outdoor tomatoes still going at Christmas some years).
