We would welcome some rain here. The constant winds dry the soil out so the plants are on their knees. Need to finish my water collecting/irrigation system! Welcome to your new extreme climate.

The plants don't think so! I've shifted thousands of litres of water to keep them alive this year so far. You can't complain really, you do live in the wettest part of the UK.you're lucky then
Must get working on my irrigation system....

' course I can complain .... poxy weather ... you're welcome to a bigger share
.... morning started well ... now lashing down again and circa 25mph wind to go with it .... feels like October / November ... back in a sweatshirt, with two layers under that .. inside!! .... 's the 25th June FFS !!! .... should be out there in shorts an' tee shirt basking in the sunshine must say, that despite the deluges, the water table is well down here ... we have a small spring which appears after prolonged dry spells on the side of our drive, when the table drops and it has started to appear ... not as 'strong' as it has been in previous years, but give it time ...
also there's a small pond half way up the main drive which I have never seen so dry
.. ever ... gonna have to go investigate what's happened to the little stream that keeps it wet ... 'praps it's dropped into a sink, as the ground's dried .... we have a lot of sinks and risings around us. Doesn't 'compute' with the level of rain we have had the last few months ... should be overflowing
