It's cooler here too thank heavens, it's also drizzling away, that type that soaks you through.

I just saw that at the moment, the forecast if for about 3 or 4 days  storms for next week!

Hosepipe bans now are for these areas:

South East Water
Southern Water
Cambridge Water
Anglian Water
Affinity Water (upcoming)

*  £1,000  fine if you ignore the ban.

* *  And I have got 68 pots and tubs to keep watered!!

Just be aware that drizzle up there can arrive at a couple of inches an hour  :shocked:

OK.  :smiley:

We've got storms forecast for next week anyway.

And another thing  . . . .  I do believe its getting dark a little earlier already.
Has anyone else noticed this?

A good thunderstorm would be good  :upvote:

I initially though there was one but it was a big fireworks display. Delapre Abbey which is about half a mile from me eventually got restored by the council who had wrecked it using it for offices in the 70s and there are events of one sort or another regularly now

Yes, Mups.  I had to switch the lights on about 21:15 last night - first time in weeks.
