April Showers

The last few days have been wet and cold after mad weather March. We were thrilled because it rained heavily the day before the hosepipe ban began on the 5th March. It was what the Scots call a " dreich" day - evoking dull, depressing and cheerless emotions but hey, the garden needed the rain because the trees, shrubs and grass have come alive! No need to water the garden now. Bring on the rain but please God give us some sunshine too!
