    Well, the title says it all. At long last we are having some well needed drizzle. Slow and steady, saturating the incredibly dry ground. Maybe now my parnsips will germinate on the allotment. So long as it stops by Sunday as the Chelsea Flower show starts.

    Good to hear you got at least a little rain.
    I almost remember what rain is....
    (But be careful of what you wish for right?)

    If I'd only realised you badly wanted rain then I could have sent ours yours way. Maybe you could send some sunshine in exchange? :D :D

    We needed the rain as well. I haven't put my 'snips in the ground yet.
    Well, if it's raining on sunday, no matter there'll be a week of opportunity. ;)
    I shall be glued to the telly every night. I really enjoy following that. Malvern was nice, but not the same.
    I need to make friends with someone that lives in London so that I can come over and experience it in person just once. hahaha

    The rainy season here in Florida has started early. We've had 3 afternoons in a row of torrential downpours. My garden is happy, but lawn mower is not.

    We have been promised rain for the last few days but the heaviest showers just seem to have skirted around our area. Finally last night we had a little, but not enough to soak the ground. My garden is so dry it is almost unworkable. Please send some our way :stew1:
