I noticed whilst visiting Manor Park Cemetery (East London) today that there
were large conker trees with all their leaves scorched dry and brown.
Although my grass at home has a tinge of green appearing there has been
little rain here since the 12mm a week ago. This is in stark contrast to the
North of the county where our cricket match at Dunmow yesterday was in some
jeopardy. I noticed how green everywhere was up there and apparently there
had been quite a lot of rain in the past few days where we have had
virtually none.
