    Missed us completely, except for a few drops.  :s

    Yet more roof frost here last night, though the Met forecast a low of 6oC overnight. Will it never end?

    Here (Cambs) it’s been the same every day since March—bitterly cold, bright sunshine, not a drop of rain. I’ve had to water twice a week because of the wind.

    Don't worry the bank holiday weekend is going to be wet, typical 🙄.

    Was hoping to wake up to rain.  But no - cold wind from the NE and bright sunshine. Will be getting the hose out in a bit.  It's the wind more than anything that dries out the top layer of our sandy soil.  And the pond needs topping up.

    Praise the rain gods indeed!  It is now properly raining (but with bits of hail mixed in)! It was the threat of getting the hose out what done it!

    Proper rain @didyw?!  😎  We've had about 20 minutes of light drizzle ... causing a hiatus in the laying of a new path at the neighbour on the corner's place ... but the sky is brightening again ...

    Coming back from jab in Luçon just now there was some rain - countable drops that took 2 whole, separate swipes of the wipers to clear over about 6kms.   Might get more this pm but not holding my breath.

    Oh no @Dovefromabove - I did think of you and was hoping you were getting it too. Still raining at the moment here in Bungay.
