According to the Met Office, this has been the wettest April for over 100 years. It has rained almost every day since the hosepipe ban was introduced. We had 5 inches of rain in the last 10 days of April. The old boy over the road has been keeping rainfall records for years so I must ask how much we had last month.
Apparently it'll take 3 months of continuous rain to return water levels to where they should be and we've had a warning that we might need to use standpipes this summer.
And it's still raining, although not quite as much - more on/off. It's set to continue all next week.
All the rain means not much action in the veggie patch - it's just too wet to dig. But we've been making wine instead ...
