Took a run up to our local reservoir - Cwmystradllyn - this morning to check on the water levels. Looks just a few inches below full, and normal for this time of year.

How is your local reservoir?

Difficult to see as round here its boreholes.

Just seen the news items re the extended drought areas over there.

Please fax some water down here

From Ireland? Gladly at times.... when is the matter transporter key going to be installed on computers?

Re my first post, this was Afon Henwy which carries the outflow from Cwmystradllyn reservoir.

What a beautiful scene, although I can imagine there are times when it's in much fuller flood than this gentle trickle.

I have just dug up the last of my parsnips and the soil was really dry, even down as far as the roots reached.

Would love to send you some from up here in the far north. Has been raining on and off now for weeks. The fields here are saturated. Have even got a few temp (hopefully) duck ponds.

Someone said on radio a few days ago that this is the wettest drought ever.
The farmers are spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding which complaint to use at the moment - it's too dry, or it's too wet!!!

Probably the wrong sort of dry and wet, Bert.
