Rain is not getting over the hills from Cumbria to the east coast. I know that Cumbria needs the rain to fill up the lakes but just a little share would be nice.

Today it rained in London, not a lot but you could call it rain, the first time, except for a few minute drizzles, since the first week of May - 3 months

We had some rain in Kent today...just enough to lay the dust where I am....I think it rained for about 30mins! Made lots of noise but need a couple of hours steady rain at least! I think we were on the edge of the london shower!!
The cockerel makes the noise, the hen produces the goods!! anon

We always seem to be on the edge too whenever I see the forecast on British telly :iconbiggrin: - we always miss the Brittany rain which falls to the west, the Cherbourg/English rain which falls to the north and basically the rest of France rain which is always to the east or south..... :lol:

Got 6mm which was enough to give me a night off watering the pots and veg patch but we could really do with 10 times that !!! Haywards Heath got 30mm the lucky buggers! :lol:
