"Dave.C" wrote snip 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.

Although we've had precious little rain, the grass has recovered noticably
well since early last week. Following a summer drought, it's remarkable how
most lawns come back (usually in September), following a few days of
consistently damp weather.

I'd decided, even before the hosepipe ban, that I wouldn't water the lawn
this year. Whilst it got well-and-truly fried in July, it's looking pretty
good now.
