Hi all, ;D ;D
Its raining this morning on Norwich. I think this is the first useful amount in six weeks.
We had no real April showers.
I never thought I`d be pleased to see rain, I`ll be happy if it rains all day.

Goodmorning all
It's been raining in the Netherlands since yesterday evening. Not a splashing rain that washes away seeds and seedlings, but a constant drizzel that soaks the earth. Wonderful. Never been happier with rain.

All of us A4A-ers in the southern dustbowl have been doing synchronised rain dances, cleaning windows, hanging out duvets, inviting friends for bbqs and all sorts of other rain-inducing stuff. (See 'We have rain - of a sort' - in The Shed.) There's been no measurable rain down here for about 5 weeks :o I'm really sorry for all who have outdoor plans for this Bank Holiday Monday - but (secretly!) I'm delighted to say that is is actually raining as I write :) :) :) If we just get enough to fill the gaping cracks in my garden before someone actually disappears down one I'll be well pleased ;)

I wish it would arrive here. Dog woke me in the night to go in the garden for a wee (the dog not me!!) I think it was 3.30am and a few drops of rain were falling. This morning the garden path looks damp and thats about all, very envious of those who have had some rain.

Maybe my imagination, but I could have sworn when I got up this morning 7ish, that the bare earth patches on the lawn were still there (leatherjackets), well now, there are bits of grass. I believe the grass is actually growing back, in hours!!
Ok, maybe I have just been too busy to notice and it has been growing back all week, but if was definately bare earth last weekend!

I saw some on the window last night as I closed the blinds (about 10pm) (NE England), Turns out it was only a drizzle - paths completely dry this morning.

We now have a fine drizzle so maybe if it keeps on all day it will at least dampen the ground.

Hallelujah! Finally got some in the night, and it's looking pretty grey again now. How long before we're all moaning about it being too wet?! ;D

Still nothing in Birmingham. metcheck's offering a severe weather warning, with localised heavy showers and possible thunderstorms. The latter would be ideal as far as I'm concerned.

Its been pouring here in North Kent for the last hour - absolutely brilliant its the first proper rain for at least 6 weeks - I suppose it will not be welcomed by most on a bank holiday

Had a monsoon for about 3 hours, so now there are floods everywhere. It has stopped now, so I'm dashing back to the lottie to finish what I started this morning.

Only a couple of drop down here in Dorset (holiday makers must be happy) the skies are gunmetal grey though - so fingers crossed we might just get a good downpour. I set up my water butt on my newly erected green house and everything - all prepared and nada. So please send it my way....
