Water shortage and hosepipe ban... ha bloody ha! We've had hailstones the size of golfballs and incessant rain for ages. Can't possibly plant anything tender outside. Poor farmers, their fields are waterlogged and the earth is stone cold. Grain sown will probably rot.
My greenhouse is chokka, hanging baskets, tubs, seedlings all ready to go outside but I just daren't, I'd lose the lot. The river which runs through our village is absolutely whizzing through the watermill sluice gates, and the valley below is already flooded. Enough! Stop! Warm sunshine please!
