Thanks, that was yesterday. It's cloudy with a few patches of blue.

Your roses are lovely. I saw one yesterday. Incidentally, I couldn't buy any David Austin as they were all gone. Went there yesterday, en route to the dinner, and there was none of David Austin. The reduction lady told me to wait, which I didn't do.

In the end, bought some snowdrop bulbs and need to mix some good compost for it. Need to see results ..

......and still no rain!!!!

shouldn't have clicked "like"! Same here. Not even drip, drop .. and I am gritting my teeth!

Just now, I have steady rain. Thank heavens .. they must have heard me MOAN!

Thank you Alp. Never bought David Austin roses, too expensive and I've heard that they are prone to black spot.

Good luck with your snow drops.

......still waiting for mine....the forecast shows that it passes over by 11, and it's almost 9 now and is nowhere to be seen

I was like that at 7am! Now it's steady rain. We are so rain starved that we are now crazy rain watchers! My garden lawn has cracked about an inch wide and more deep!

I am praying for you and it is only LATE! Mine has been early. It was supposed to be here 9am. I can't complain! A drop is a drop. I can actually hear water going down the butts.. 10 hours of this, I will have no water trouble for 10 days.
