It is true that we've not seen a lot of rain this summer here in Norfolk,
two or three very heavy showers which didn't do that much good.


I've found this definition of drought:

Which is a joke to anyone familiar with any location where droughts
actually happen.

But the serious lack of rain here in the east has caused me to lose
much of this years' vegetable production :-(


We had the wettest something or other on record this "Summer" in
Dublin (July or August or some time span that I cannot remember). We
also lost a lot of vegetables. They just sat there in the mud and
sulked.
