It's raining. ?

I can't be one to complain because we had a lovely 7mm last weekend but the wind soon took it away.
But had hopes for this weekend tho forecasters have put us just on the side of any of the proper rainfall.
So who has had meaningful amount of rainfall,,,,,,,,, 2mm so far and hoping for more
 
Keep your hopes up, I just realised that my wellies were stood outside so I thought it prudent to bring them inside, in the half hour I've been having a cup of tea with dad the rain gauge has jumped from 2 to 4 mm ?

Might go and put my wellies back outside?
 
I will put up with squishy toes if it makes it rain longer,

Think it’s past hope now, after the wettest winter and feb in 26yrs we needed a bit of help this spring but got nothing but 1mm in the last month. Give it a few more weeks then I will start knocking stuff out I think

None here. Few spots on the window at bedtime but woke up to no rain. Nothing forecast for April or early may. Winter crops absent. Spring crops....well. Should really have packed up completely.
