Here in the Deep South we had a very dry winter and little heavy rain since. I've been watering every morning for weeks, our river is so low the ducks can walk across, the grass looks dead and I have a permanent bowl of water out for hedgehogs. I've been expecting drought warnings and hosepipe restrictions ever since March.
Now it's pouring with real wet rain! Hurrah! I hope it rains nonstop until school breaks up in 10 day's time.

My garden is very happy
I hope it stops in the morning though! 
I definitely don't want it to rain for the next ten days 
If it could just rain at night that would be good!
I watered all the pots yesterday evening thinking we would have rain forecast overnight but nothing until about 4pm. I began to get worried 
Tizliz, I think that's been done!
We must have given you our rain. For the first morning in ages, the sun is shining through the blinds, here in the west of Scotland. Enjoy the rain, hang onto it as long as possible. We have had plenty recently.
. I agree Elainel If I hear one more time how hot it is down south, I will scream!! We have had grey skies and rain for weeks. The only thing growing in the garden is weeds.
