This continual rain may be bgetting us all down, but it's doing wonders
for our gardens in Kent, where we still have hosepipe restrictions.

The wettest drought on record as we are calling it!

I run a wholesale plant nursery and our perennials are looking fantastic
- they love the rain!


I'm sure you already know but drought is not directly related to
rainfall. It's more about what finishes up in the water supply. If
reservoir levels are lower than expected, it's a drought!

Many moons ago when I was young the definition of a draught was no
rainfall for 2 weeks.

WIWAL, the definition of a draught was a chilly breeze.
