    Does anyone know how to do cloud seeding?
    You're better off growing them from cuttings.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Dove, both wonderful writers. Do you know Roger Deakin's work - Water Log and Wild Wood? Glorious writing and a sad loss a few years back.

    Oh yes :) ... I used to live in Suffolk very close to his place ... as you say, a very sad loss.  

    The BBC tv oc on Wild Swimming was wonderful ... I suppose it was a few years ago now ...

    Was so looking forward to this eclipse. We won’t ever see this again this century. 
    is to last 4 hours, and Mars is so close to it. 
    We did need the rain though, useful drop, all butts brimming and more to come.  Just wish it had started tomorrow and not last night.

    I liked Melvyn Bragg's book but I also liked Bill Bryson's 'Mother Tongue'. :blush:

    If any of you are wondering what that noise is, it's me doing a curmudgeonly mutter. :angry:

    We've had a couple of showers, but not enough to fill up the bird bath,never mind water butts.
