Meanwhile 28 flood alerts due to ground water flooding as the chalk aquifers 'balance out' from the winter.

fields I dare not put a wheel on 3 weeks ago are concrete today feb drilled crops are barely out the ground, spring drilled crops have drilled into barely enough moisture to get them germinated, plenty of moisture below but they need to get started to reach it! If we don't cop a good shower tonight there is very little expected in the next 3 weeks, I can see us writing off this years cropping! :bag:

Could do with a drop here. Spring barley drilled here 4 weeks ago.

At least the kids aren't missing out not being allowed to visit beach. Will take bucket and spade next time.
