So fed up with this weather and then looking at the forecasts just days and days more rain.

It hardly rained this summer! We have a hosepipe ban because there wasn’t enough in summer or last winter!

I don’t love it, but we need rain.

Not sure this thread is for you.

Clay garden. Haven't stood on the lawn all winter but it still looks like I've been playing rugby on it...

(...and I'm Welsh, so don't mention the rugby...) 😫

Thinking I need to plant a few water loving trees in my back garden to help slightly with the water logging! Maybe those winter Christmas tree looking ones - sorry I'm not a gardener so have no idea on names or types.

Tired of not being able to dry clothes outside and tired of my patio being flooded! Can't even get out and weed or wet and forget the patio as its non stop.
Usually Dorset has drier days than the rest of the country but not recently. I wonder if it's going to be a scorcher of a summer

Yes, who else remembers praying for rain last summer?

Having spent many years in desert climates, I do find it scary when it - just - doesn’t - rain.
Yes, there’s been too much lately, it’s a PITA, but I’d rather have this than severe drought - like I’ve seen on both visits to Australia.

It's the MUD. I am SO SICK of mud.

My house is mud. DDog is mud. I am mud.
