Would be nice, if anyone influential happens to read this. It's
ridiculously dry here! We've had lowering grey/black clouds on several
evenings but not a drop of the hard stuff. Ray dug down several inches
yesterday to plant a large Hedychium and says there wasn't a drop of
moisture to be seen. I crossed the River Dart today at Staverton
Bridge and it's lower than I've ever seen it, a very few inches at most
and there was a large flock of Canada Geese there, too.

I dug out a couple of concrete fenceposts last weekend. All I can
report is that here in S. Hampshire it was completely dry 75cm down!
