 Hosepipe bans and reservoirs Took a run up to our local reservoir - Cwmystradllyn - this morning to check on the water levels. Looks just a few inches below full, and normal for this time of year. How is your local reservoir? Attachment:

Re: Hosepipe bans and reservoirs What a beautiful scene, although I can imagine there are times when it's in much fuller flood than this gentle trickle.
I have just dug up the last of my parsnips and the soil was really dry, even down as far as the roots reached.

Re: Hosepipe bans and reservoirs Afternoon Would love to send you some from up here in the far north. Has been raining on and off now for weeks. The fields here are saturated. Have even got a few temp (hopefully) duck ponds. Regards

Re: Hosepipe bans and reservoirs Someone said on radio a few days ago that this is the wettest drought ever. The farmers are spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding which complaint to use at the moment - it's too dry, or it's too wet!!!

Re: Hosepipe bans and reservoirs Probably the wrong sort of dry and wet, Bert.
