It's fertiliser for the crops. Wish I could have some, but it's 14 miles to the sea!

Right now in Outer west Greater London (Heathrow area), it's non-stop raining and flooding - and a hosepipe ban!
but I would love to see how you grow tomatoes etc in the exit of winter - or is that a bit of Yorkshire banter?? - Yorkshire?? I thought you were further north??
Hows the weather there then??

The weather in Yorkshire today is light cloud and sun, dry, and spring-like.

   Lovely warm sunny morning but rather windy now, but it is only April after all.

30 in Corfu today after weeks of rotten weather. Rotten here in Norfolk though-think drowned rats!!

Unfortunately they can swim quite well!!
I really don't like rats at all, as far as I am concerned the only good rat is a dead one!! Yuck!!!!

Every winter I have to put out rat-bait to get rid of them!!
