Norfolk drought – families asked to share baths rather than beds. More soon.

Thought this had been in effect since the '76 drought.

Get the local council, or witches, whatever they have there to give me money, or goats, whatever they use there and I'll come down.

Every time I go by the Faclo it rains.
Except today when I got hailed on as well.

Snowed 30 mile down the road here yesterday (OK, it was on top of a "mountain"), in between showers.
Summer my arse

We've booked falcos for Sept to refill the reservoirs.

I'll be coming. Dig some spare ones as well.

Strange isn't it that in a place where it doesn't rain the locals have those unique wet weather adaptations.

Goes to show, Darwin was nuts and God has a well developed sense of irony.
