It has been another spring like day with temperatures in the low teens. Have
had to water the garden plants again as there has been no measurable

left in them to replenish the water butts.

South Essex - used to live in South Ockendon, would that count as south
Essex ?
Moved now to west Wales, biggest difference is rainfall, I think we get
twice
as much here as in South Ockendon. Spent time in college in Chorley,
Lancashire.
Sept, October & November there felt like monsoon season after Essex.
