It's amazing how quickly, considering we are an island surrounded by sea...we are told there is a water shortage.
Do most of your homes have water butts to use any rain water?
Some might have a barrel attached to a downspout, but no cisterns.

I meant the barrel...so the rain water is collected to water gardens.
People whe tend to garden a lot have them here, especially if they have water meters.

The problem is, we don't get enough rain to fill them when we need water..
I have an in ground lawn sprinkler for my yard..Catching water might get you enough water to water some flowers for a few weeks..

Just popped in to say I hope you’re feeling better today, Mags.
I‘m in Spain, so there’s no need to say what the weather’s like over here ….

Get well soon Mags. x
Good news for you...it's getting cooler, and some well needed rain is forecast for the end of next week.
I am praying this isn't the end of the good weather, hopefully summer will bring us some more hotness.

Hope you are feeling a bit better Mags, chest infections can really take it out of you.
Weather here, beautiful this morning, clouded over now, still no rain.

We took everything out (crossword, drafts, breakfast, cushions....sat down, froze for 5 minutes, carted everything back in again. Hopefully it'll warm up in an hour or two.
We can't complain, it's been glorious for weeks, sadly set to break in a couple of days.
Edit...Turned out glorious again. x
