We're metered too but still pay much less than when we were un-metered. Does it depend on which part of the country you live as to charges?

I find that a bit harsh Stellajane. It was well known when we had our water meter fixed in the 1990s, that charges would be cheaper. For 1 think we don't look at what we use for any of the utilities, apparently paying by DD is a little cheaper; my plants require watering as and when.

Our garden hasn't had much benefit even though it has drizzled, hard at times. Under the shrubs it hasn't touched the ground, nor under the leaves of those plants in pots
so will require hose pipe tomorrow unless it rains over-night. Rain ran straight off the leaves and into the drains ..........

Went to Sissinghurst Gardens yesterday, which is a regular visit for us as we don't live far away. We were last there about five weeks ago and it was beautiful. Yesterday, however, was very sad. Very little colour and if it wasn't for the heat you would think it was a late September garden. I know we moan about rain but it just shows how the gardens and countryside we love depend on a reasonable amount.

Some plants in our garden have died right back
. Park lands will recover but they look yellow right now. Are there any hints at Sissinghurst about water saving? I have moved bucks of water from a collection barrel into another holding area in the garden, ready to re-fill the collection barrel when it does rain.
Is there cake there ?

Am I correct, it's National Trust?
I'm trying to read a book written by Vita-Sackville's son, Nigel Nicolson. It's a coffee table book so not suitable for in the bath
. I think that there is a connection?

Yes it is NT.
Some of the family still live there, as did Nigel. Saw him there, many moons ago, but he has been dead a few years now.

Sat in our garden at dusk, it was lovely and cool. Frogs croaking. Fish gulping ..........

I have planted some plants bought at the garden centre recently it was hard work as the ground is so hard I did try to water the places where I was planning to put them but the ground is so hard the water was just running off I ended up digging small holes then filling with water letting that soak in and then digging again and refilling the hole with water over and over again very time consuming but their done now thank goodness.

They will need watering early in the morning and again at dusk. Even our established trees are wilting now, so out with the hose!

Haven't needed to water very often as we have had rain at various times over the last few days.

Same here but I don't think that the water is going far. Ground has been too hard. Frogs are loving it
