Well the weather here in UK is worse than I remember it. Constantly raining but we still have a hose pipe ban and the reservoirs are empty. Went for a walk up to the Bird Santuary yesterday and the lakes were almost empty. The rain has certainly stimulated the wild-flowers and they are in abundance.
The days just seem to get wetter and wetter and despite this water is in short supply, begs the question, why ??

The forecast is for yet more rain, showers, thunder and lightning. Global warming seems to have arrived. Still I suppose we have to make the best of the sun that does break through, which is what I am trying to do, but anticipation of this currently rare event is increasingly difficult.
