Default Sudden downpour

We have 7 water butts. Getting dangerously low :-(

Returning from London, we'd just reached the first turn off to

been around 10.30pm or a little earlier. We'd seen lightning from some
way away while we were on the M5. The steam is rising off the roads
and it's like a sort of creeply Hollywood film. Now we have a light
but steady downpour and may it stay that way to waer the garden but
leave the plants unharmed!


Lucky you! Dry as a bone down here. Hoping for some heavy downpours in
the next couple of days, but there's no guarantee.
