I am beginning to think that all the trees I have just planted should be getting watered so a wee bit of rain would be a good thing for the dry ground. 
There was a bit of a woodland fire just along the road yesterday which was probably not helped by the dryness either.

We may live in a small island but it is amazing how different things can be in different places.

Every bucket, bin, container and any slight dips in the ground are now full

That's more than enough thank you

I am saying nothing ... :huff: . I started the last lot off back in November with one of my comments (before Hazel Hollow says anything!!)

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

According to my favourite weather forecast site - xlweather,
Tullibody should start to get rain on Tuesay pm, up to 3.2mm (I think it said), about 1am, Wed. morning, light rain until Thursday, get your water collecting gear ready :-)
 
put your postcode in you get the forecast just for your area, it's good. (Watch, hope it doesn't prove me wrong now ::)  )
 
It said light rain for here at 1pm today - 1.20pm it started raining and then stopped as forecast.
 
But we have plenty of water still in the land, so no more for us please.

I filled 4 full size bins off our caravan guttering in less than an hour, I dread to think how much rain we have had but I'm sure whomever it is that drops it on Devon has got their mm's and centimetres mixed up  :rant:
 :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:
Do I give the impression we don't want any more rain

Wellies on again tonight  :rant: :rant: :rant:

Chasing the dream  :thinking:

It's ok really, it's just a pain
