Laurie from Birchville

It’s 1pm Boxing Day in Birchville and the rain started at 4am this morning. My New Years wish is simple. We should arrange with the council that rain should only fall between 1am and 3am every night. This would ensure we don’t have to water our gardens every morning and waste our precious water supplies. That should keep the council happy not having to allocate water from their limited resources. It would also mean a reliable vegetable growth and the economics of eating greens much more sensible. Have a good New Year!
