Our gardens need a bit of rain. Grass was going brown. You can still go out. Put a coat on and your hood up. Bit of rain never harmed anyone.

Answer 24

British weather

Answer 25

Ahhhh you see but this is the pay off to keep your garden looking green!  

Answer 26

The weather is the reason we have such beautiful gardens in the uk. It will be back to sunny in no time and everything will have the nutrients it needs from a good down pour. You will realise in a few days just how much things have grown. I use the rainy days to catch up on jobs inside, research how to prune spring flowering plants and how to care for the things I've planted etc along with decorating jobs and much needed house work. Everything is about balance xx

Feel cheated as my partner and I are Keyworkers needed to buy fence panels to repair chicken run as fox got in . But all cheap ones sold out. So had to buy expensive ones as can't leave it. They are coming Friday and we will have to put them up in the rain. That's cheated

Comments

@jackelynjackeroo probably wasn’t sold out at all. retailer just wanted to flog the expensive stuff and know we’re all ‘Suckers’!

@grievous it wasn't a question of being a 'sucker' no local fence yards open so had to use big DIY store and this was all I could get. I could not wait as I had explained above which I would have normally done as I need to make my pets safe. Everyone has been buying garden products that are not working we don't all have that luxury
