During the drought of 1976, it got so bad that the then Labour govt actually appointed a Minister for Drought to encourage us to save water >> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Howell
Autumn's all around us already if you know where to look.
Lords & Ladies, blackberries. walnuts. elderberry, sloes, acorns, hawthorn. hazel nuts. sycamore 'helicopters' and conkers - all coming well..
The weather looks fine for 'sun worshippers' tomorrow. I'll be up early to catch a glimpse of the Solstice sun, and I'll raise a glass when it sets tomorrow night too.
That's it then, it's all downhill to Christmas. I'd better get the sprouts on
2pm onwards. Note how the wind picks up too
