Being British our main topic of conversation should about the bad weather, bemoaning the lack of sun and the constant rain. True to form it's not long between discussions about the weather, but in an about face they are about the lack of rain and how hot and sunny it is.
Just to put the record straight, we're not complaining about it being hot and sunny, we just wish that there was a bit of rain added to the mix, preferably overnight. Our subsistence farming requires moving 100s of litres of water a night from the pond to the vegetable patch, with is impacting both our humour and the water level in the pond. Of course, if we'd known that it wasn't ever going to rain we'd not have grown courgettes, cucumbers, peas and beans, all of which crave massive quantities of water to fruit.
So, we're not fixated by the rain yet, but there is every chance that we could become so!
