Hosepipe ban

[muddy]

We have a hosepipe down here in Wiltshire ban from midnight tonight .
There hasn't been a hosepipe ban in Wiltshire for 50 years .
Wiltshire is proud of its record and sorry to have to impose it .
I have only been watering my pots and a few privileged plants anyway .
This has attracted the attention of Mr Mole who is now digging away under the pots that are in the flower bed ( the ground was so hard I didn't like to plant them out ) the pots now look like they have been on a boozy night out all at drunken angles .
Underneath the tunnels are quite visible .
Still moles have to live too .

I suppose if you have been watering there Muddy,  it maybe the only softer bit of soil he can excavate with his little feet.   Might be the only place he can find a few worms too. 

We've had a hosepipe ban for a little while now.   I think lots of places have now.
I imagine we've all had enough of this drought now,  us,  and  the animals.   It's gone on too long.
