Thankyou for the reassurance Snooky. Its only 2 of us, 2 showers a day, the odd bath, dishwasher every other and washing machine 3-4 per week. We don't wash our own cars, and I am careful with water in the garden. I do, however make a bit of handwashing up due to my soap making business. It will be a different story for our next but one neighbours, the dad washes all 3, sometimes 4 cars every weekend with the jet wash. We've always joked he'll have no paint left on them, but he might have to reign it in now. They gave us a weeks' notice before they came and put them in.

No doubt this novelty will rapidly wear off but excited to wake this morning and see the first flower on my courgette plant !!! (As well as some steady rain after several days of very hot weather ).

Being pensioners, we were offered a metre fitted, if after a year we could go back to the old system [new tenants would have no option] best thing we did. Saved money.

I hope it works out that way for us too Shallotman. We have no choice and there's no going back.

Annoyingly, we missed most of the rain, just a heavy shower this morning but, that has dried up now....maybe tomorrow.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

It was pretty moist here yesterday evening.
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

No thunder & lightning but got a persistent drizzle today on & off. Just what I needed with the dry soil - nice & gentle so hopefully no run off. Primrose I also spotted my first baby courgette with the flower not fully open so must have attracted the bees right from the start. Mind if I was a bee currently I'd be getting a bit sick of poppies!

My tomatoes were a foot taller yesterday afternoon. I started to tie them in, and the rain began again, heavy!

Stop feeding him. Usually works.
