Heavy rain forecasted for Derbyshire all day tomorrow...guess the planned day out with the kids might be in jeopardy.... :-\
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

We got a few drops, but it was quite a pleasant day on the whole. It's obviously comng in slowly, which may well mean it's coming in earnest. I hope so.

Fine drizzle all the way on the windscreen as I drove back from my Mums at around ten tonight, but barely enough to clear the dust off the screen.

I was happy I didn't have to go water the plot today, been drizzling on and off since lunch time. Will pop over tomorrow though, cause the weeds are probably saying "whoopee... water... let's grooowww!"

I left the lottie early today - no rain, but there was a nippy little breeze a-blowing!

Hi Green pea, yes, it's raining in Gloucester!
I was very pleased to wake up to the rain this morning, although it means a day of housework, rather than digging the allotment :(
At least the soil will be easier to dig when it stops, the plants will be happy, and so will the weeds!
