Downpours-lash-Britain?????????????

Weather has been nice up here all week, no down pour to be seen. Headline might need adjusting.

How is the drought anyway?

Still going apparently. Though here in this particular bit of the south our water co doesn’t have any restrictions and the garden is looking lush.

I shall say this one more time, darn sarf is full up.
