Why
is it that every month one says that the weather is so variable? At
least the drought is now over - towards
the end of the month one had unbelievable monsoon like weather late evening,
early morning Tuesday the 24th. This resulted in a big flood in the River
Dwyfor (which dropped back to "normal" levels by the evening).
Now the two top springs are running but still insufficient to have a
flow to the bottom pool.
Bees have been
busy and are now working the Japanese Knotweed along the river bank about
half a mile away (did someone say that there was no use for Japanese
Knotweed!).
