Map didn't show it reaching us.

Maybe I shall be able to get the rest of the plots broken up.

A spot of rain here as well, just when I need it :)
Whatever it was I didn't do it but if I should have done then I have!

Send some down south, please - my lottie's starting to look like a desert!

Cheers,

Not a drop for the whole of April - and nothing forecast for the coming week for the Sussex dustbowl.  :'(
Rain dance it is, then  ;)

Couple of showers here yesterday, but not enough to make much difference. Apparently it was chucking it down in Cumbria. >:(

Waterproofs and warm soup in a flask for a quick squelch down the lottie here.  Glad it's raining, but couldn't it have waited until I'm in work tomorrow?
is it in the sale?

Pathetic drizzle here in Bournemouth. Just enough to make it unpleasant outside but not a lot else!
Don't throw paper away. There is no away.

Ready when you are Grandma! Only got a few pigeon feathers for my headdress though!  ;D
If I ever get it all right - then that's the time to quit.

I'm glad I asked for a share of it - we've had drizzle most of the morning!!!

(Interesting - in 2005 & 2006 we had exactly the same weather as today on St George's Day!)

After 29 days without rain on the Mersey Riviera it has not stopped since yesterday morning, more a steady drizzle, but now half an inch has fallen. It is better than heavy rain as it does not run off.

Well we have had rain, I could probably have counted exactly how many droplets fell - PATHETIC!  Please, I want rain.  My seeds will never germinate if we don't get some rain soon!
