[Upsy Daisy]

Fingers crossed for you @Mark56

We have a passing bucket of rain over us now.....and guess what?...it's actually wet!!! But won't last long as the sky is brightening up

 

[Mark56]

Ooh! Ditto! We’re having quite a good prolonged shower, 20 minutes so far. Light but steady rain. Hallelujah! I’ll get back to wofting..

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Keep up it up @Mark56 ...........you're doing a grand job

Now, who has stolen the blue blob which was reported to be right above Essex??

Now I have an inch of rain in ONE BUTT, 1 and a half in another and the rain is supposed to move away 2pm! I'm not amused!

Two of mine tomatoes had tightened skin and were dying whilst looking green. Is that what you call it? Never had problems with tomatoes before!

 

[Mark56]

It’s still going! Constant rain for the last 1hr30! What did I do to deserve such privledge?

Upsy? Alp? Still nothing

 

[Leeski]

Tightened skin is more the weather poss blossom end rot not sure if mine have blight or I have been given them to much food will give them a good flush with water and see what happens not happy

Mark: Have you got water butts to keep the rain water please? I have 7 which need to be filled. At the moment, the record level is 2 inches for ONE butt!

@Leeski Met office tell porkies all the times and then when it is 33c, they screamed deaths .. frightening the Tourist Office as all the Brits flock to Greece or the continent to hunt for 36c .. Hope someone sues them for their automatic bonus!
