.....but it is raining tonight!!!!!

Oh, yes :-)

No doubt I will get fed up with it after the first few days, but perhaps the
grass will no longer look like a ginger person's chest wig.

Wierd - ten miles inland and all the lawns are green, but here on the coast
burnt brown is the fashionable colour.

Western people, thank you for finally leaving us some.

Cheers

Dave R

P.S. I expect all my outdoor tomatoes will now split.

Yes, we are obviously near you or in a similar east coast place. Our
fields have been brown for some weeks. Everything with shallow roots
is well dried up though the trees (including our fruit trees) are
fine, in particular we have had the biggest crop of plums ever this
year.

Now I know who they were talking to on Gardeners World when they said
that now is a good time to treat your Decking whilst the timber is
dry.
Here it would make more sence to fix oil drums to it and use it as a
raft.
We've had 2 3/4 inch in 48 hours, yesterday we had 1 inch in less than
2 hours.

Do you do overseas delivery? If so can you send the clouds over to
Normandy please. I've had a mere 8mm of rain so far. Just enough to wet
the foliage. No other rain for a month!

I guess now that the westerners are sending us rain we are nicking it before
it gets to you.

The forecast is lively for the next couple of weeks anyway so you should get
some :-)

PLEASE send me some of this wet stuff. Here on the east coast (40 miles inland) we have had only 2 light spatterings in 6 weeks!! My poor flower pots are crying for a drink & I spend hours with my watering can trying to save all but sadly lose the odd one. It is always hotter and drier here, apparently this is the driest county in UK

Here in Farnham Surrey, its been bone dry for ages. We did have a torrential down pour a week or so ago, but my lawn is already brown!

In Leeds it has been wet for as long as I can remember, and all the
summer veg crops are winding down and not producing new flowers. The
chilli peppers, after a really good start, are taking an age to ripen.
