Hi John! From a very warm, dry and sunny Folkestone. Given the lack of real rain around here in what has been quite a while now with little forecast for Kent in the medium range outputs and looking at my now totally brown lawn, I'm surprised I've come across very little mention in the way of water restrictions. Given how towns are expanding rapidly thus putting extra strain on the water infrastructure, by rights we should be in a drought situation by now. Perhaps because water meters being effective in making everyone being careful about water usage?
Hi, Ian! Water meters sure help! It encouraged us to use water butts here and we're careful with water usage, as with other utilities, because we know we're paying for it lol!
Up here it's a deceptive drought inmby because we keep getting small amounts keeping the surface green but down below it's dry. Most of Cheshire is on sand or gravel which doesn't help.
