Isn't 3 weeks without rain officially a drought in England? If so, this
may be the first I've encountered since I moved here in 1997! Today it is
3 weeks since it rained here. We had customers in from Norfolk today who
said they've had no rain all summer. Somehow, we kept our hands from
around their necks! This is the most beautiful Indian Summer ever
experienced, by me, here. Tonight, Ray came into the kitchen, dragged me
away from a hot stove (!) and took me outside to see a simply
awe-inspiring sunset of pinks and golds. This morning the air was cold and
crisp and dry, like a really good wine. It made one feel better just for
being outside the front door and inhaling it. This weather is gorgeous
beyond description.

It's very, very dry here. The stream at the end of the garden is lowest I've
seen it in the many years we've lived here. It's barely a trickle.
