After seven weeks without rain, yes 7 weeks! The Lune Valley finally got a sprinkling of rain April 28. The forecast is showers for a the next few days, so maybe the 25 mm cracks in the vegetable garden might close. Hopefully I can then plant out some leeks.
Plus dig the remaining vegetable plots which never got dug during the wettest Autumn/Winter on record.
(Lune Valley location:- M6/J34 crosses the River Lune).

Yes it is welcome, my water butt was empty, unusual for this time of year.
Not that long since we had rain, I remember my wife getting soaked joining the Sainsburyās queue two weeks agoš¬ It wasnāt that much, only about an hourās rain.
Had a moorland fire at the weekend in North Derbyshire itās been that dry, that was allegedly from some numpties having a barbeque.
We had a good rain here in East Anglia yesterday, first for ages, plus very cold as well. How long before we have a drought announced!
80+ litres of rainwater from the roof of our 12x6 chicken run in one day. Much needed.
Sadly there are plenty of ānumptiesā around MickAPā¦ 
And now itās so cold the central heating had to go on, twice in over two weeks.
First rain 
here in North east of England
