Well thank goodness for that - a couple of really heavy showers yesterday have replenished my water butts. ;D Excellent for the veg too.
Had to feel sorry for the people wanting to go to the beach tho ... nah on second thoughts I'm glad we had the rain - even if we couldn't eat outside.

Still hot and Sunny here. 8) 8) 8)
No rain for 8 weeks here. Water butts empty. Plants starting to droop.

Did I miss something as the ground is bone dry here. :-X
At last we even had thunder last night to go with it. Got lots of weeding and sowing done today. Feels good you can almost hear things growing. Slug carnage though this morning little buggers . x sunloving
Baking hot here again today. Apparently today is the hottest April day since 1949. :o 8) 8)
Nothing here - personally I'm delighted - it's holding the weeds back!
Plenty of thunder and lightening but only a few drops :( My lawn is already turning to straw.
grey rain cloudy sky, thunder and lightening but not a flamin drop of rain since I got home, evidence of a little bit earlier but not enough to actually soak anything, earth all dried back up pavign slabs damp.
The had bucket loads at the M25/M26 junction, we were coming home and traffic had to slow to 30 mile an hour for fear of aquaplaning, M25 was like a river.
You are welome to it.. it has been here for months, we have had two sunny days without rain..ain't life funny XX Jeanninew
Thunder, lightening and Rain for the last hour and a half. ;D

Ground like concrete. :'( :'(
Water buts empty ::) ::)
weeds growing like mad, no surprise there.

Have a great Easter to you all.
We actually had a shower last night and I put a bucket under the downpipe from the garage roof and got about 1/2 pint.
What rain? Thank goodness I'm not on a water meter!
Just a complete dust bowl, thunder and lightning last night but not a spot of rain here in oxfordshire. :(
Stop hogging it all!! Drained one butt today & the second is probably about half full. One more to go at, but then we're onto metered water. Not fun. Poor plants starting to seriously suffer. :'(
Only upside is that I needed to get the end butt drained in order to get it back into position properly after the scaffold for the roof knocked it. Every cloud & all that ::)
what bl00dy rain??
No rain here in Kent either :'(
My heavy clay plot isnt liking thi sdry weather
Just a few drops here in Nantes :'( :'(
It's really dry, the soil underneath is cool but not very damp any longer... And my two rain barrels are empty more or less. Luckily we have water on site but I have to walk further to get it :)
Nothing to write home about for 2 months in my part of N Yorks... Cannot remember the last time I saw any. I have some forecast for later this week; I'll believe it when I see it. Whitby had a huge storm at the weekend, but when I got home it was bone dry, and not a drop had landed apparently.
Here is a nice website to look at....
