Raining (at last!) on the Hereford/Powys/Shropshire border.

Real rain.

Proper drops and everything.

Has been going for about 30 mins!

Like it actually might do some good!

Fingers crossed for everyone else too..

About 30 mins here ...... Will prevent grass dying for a few days anyway.

Same here and lots more forecast. Barrels filling fast and even the fish are happy with fresh water. Shall we all be complaining about the rain soon or have we had a big enough scare? I hope anyone who's still dry gets rain soon.

Well we got about an hours' worth… and it didn't do much, as the soil is still dry (when I dug the potatoes for tonight's tea)…, so back to watering tomorrow!
