We had some wetness last week, but I wouldn't say it actually rained. We had very short-lived showers that wet the pavements, but unlike where my sister lives - 10 miles away - there were no puddles.
At times, it looked as though rain was on its way, but it never really made it. One day at the allotment, for a very short time, we had very fine drizzle which felt more akin to standing in a cloud. We also had a couple of short, sharp showers when we were at the plot on Sunday, but they were over very quickly and the ground soon dried up. There was nothing that had any effect on our parched soil. To make matters worse, we have had drying wind. The watering can is still being kept busy.
