Have you had a hosepipe ban yet Steve? I reckon it won't be long before we all have.

We just use a small plastic bucket to put some water in our modest three tubs of flowers, and to refill the birdbaths and water trays for the wildlife. (We normally have a plethora of tubs and hanging baskets etc but for some reason didn't bother last Spring!)

There have been some very weird cloud formations over our Wensum Valley location. I was praying they would result in thunderstorms and deluges of rain.
No chance...
And they're saying it will reach 33 degrees Celsius next week and still not a hope of any rain. Oh Lord!
