**Drought**

[Clive Walker's slaphead]

Fuckin' rain we've had over the last couple of years should ensure that the water table is full. Only a few weeks ago a mere shower caused waterlogging proves this. The wankers at water companies will be screaming drought within the next 4 weeks if this dry spell continues.

My waterbutt is now empty No significant rainfall here for almost a month.

My waterbutt is now empty No significant rainfall here for almost a month.

Although pretty useless when empty every home should install a waterbutt infact I think any household who does should receive a rebate from their local water company to help offset the instalation costs.

I hope and pray for some rain, preferably during the night, to make the ground on my allotment softer in places although some parts are still pretty waterlogged from the rain we had around Easter. ome of the ground is like concrete and as said others parts are very soft us gardeners are never happy but havent had to use use any water from tyhe butts much yet.

We are still getting very low temperatures at night so all of those plants that the garden centres are selling must be protected or they will be lost. Oner stall in B Hill was selling runner bean plants, much too early.

Light rain here in beautiful downtown West Saltdean.

You know you're getting old when your first remark is good, it's good for the garden

the normal wet weather system from the SE....

Surely it comes from SW?
