where is the rain?

[Andy Hamilton]

well we were told that we would have hardly any rainfall this summer, i had a look up for long range weather forecast and guess what, the next rain for bristol is on tuesday 20th june.

I have this problem (again!!!!!). A dustbowl of a garden. Plants flopping. Gone through more than half of the 3000 litres stored.

OK the weather is beautiful and fantastic and to die for (not too hot), BUT, my garden needs water! I have the seep hose on the spuds and had to get the hose pipe out for a flower bed the other night.

I'm really not looking forward to another drought like last year. The steam feeding my pond has stopped flowing now too so if the pond level goes down 4 foot like last year I'll be ready to move to ........ er, I was going to say wet old England, or even Scotland, but they get dry too! Where can I go, a rainforest?

or perhaps Crkvine, Serbia and Montenegro. It has the highest yearly rainfall in Europe.

Would it be legal for me to pump water out of the river to water my plants?

[Tigerhair]

Oh! I have changed into a dog called Jake!

[Millymollymandy]

That's nice dear. I hope he's yours!

I don't know about the pumping of water in the UK - I'd have thought not if you have hosepipe bans. If we have water restrictions in France you most deffo aren't allowed to take from a natural water source! However, if the river isn't drying up, and no-one is looking...................
