Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.

My spring has run almost dry. It supplies all our water including the polytunnel! And I live on top of a mountain in North Wales!!???!

We have only had the odd brief heavy shower in the last couple of months. Not nearly enough to raise the water table.

So am keeping everything crossed for a decent downpour soon - Sorry :roll:

Been dry in Hampshire for only about 6 days, had on and off showers before that and some quite heavy rain about 2 weeks ago.

Looks like some rain from Thursday which is good, as my water butt is about half empty :)

Sorry to say this everyone but i like the sun, last year was awful. It rained throughout the entire summer holidays.
As far as i am concerned i'd rather carry watering cans about than sit in my house waiting for the sun to come out.

DONT JINX US WE DONT GET ENOUGH HOT WEATHER!!!!!!!

Quote from: "Johnny Norfolk"
The growing conditions have been perfect in my part of Norfolk. We have spells of warm/hot sunshine followed by high rainfall for the past 6 weeks, 27c yesterday, 23c forcast today, showers on Wednesday.

 By the way we call climate change, weather in Norfolk.

Q. Why do we not hear anymore about the hole in the Ozone layer.

A. It is no longer there, thats why.

 

    Oh darling," hole in the Ozone layer" is sooo last year. Dont you know the new buzzwords now are  " carbon footprint, CO2 emissions and lets rip off the great British public with "Green Issues". :roll:  :evil:
Oh for those halcyon days of England long ago

Yer right again, sadgit.

These scientists can make bombs to make lives hell but can't make a system to organise a few hours gentle rain at night and a heavenly sunny day to follow.

There is probably no money to be made in bringing happiness.
If it rots compost it
If it burns burn it
If it is chocolate eat it
