Another generally dry and warm month although it rained several times,
albeit with fairly meagre amounts. Nevertheless with the lower evaporation
rates and morning dews the grass has greened up and may deserve one of its
few cuts of the year. No air frosts and quite a contrast to the cold of last
October.
