OK getting on my nerves now.
Apart from the odd day here and there it’s hardly stopped raining in my part of Essex for the last month, Garden is flooded (bloody Essex clay) probably a good job the club got the pitch sorted out in summer otherwise our fixtures would be piling up.

Re: OK getting on my nerves now.
Saturday was okay, and I managed to get out and give the lawn its first cut for the year. Bloody back-breaking though, and every year that passes I seem to have more moss than grass.
Our soil is clay too, so it's totally sodden and unworkable at the moment.

With hosepipe bans in some places in the last two years it makes me wonder where all the water is coming from to water the crops when we go vegetarian.

There'd be a lot more water available if the Water Companies invested more money in the infrastructure.WilliamTell wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 3:34 pm With hosepipe bans in some places in the last two years it makes me wonder where all the water is coming from to water the crops when we go vegetarian.

The last major public water supply reservoir to be constructed in the UK for water supply purposes was Carsington in 1991. So long as our population and water usage doesn't increase since then, we should be absolutely fine.

Re: OK getting on my nerves now.
I will cheer you up. When meteorologists first started warning about Global warming, they said that the UK's climate wouldn't get much warmer; but expect a lot more windy & wet weather. Noticed anything in the last few years? Never mind a load more gas fuelled power stations are on their way.

Drenched doing the nursery drop off, get home, get drenched again taking the dogs out. Dry off, get drenched again taking them out at lunch.
