I have been sweltering indoors for a couple of weeks, self-isolating with Covid, caught despite having had three vaccinations. When I ventured out this weekend it was to a very strange world with everything pale, parched, withered, and potential tinder. In some places the landscape around my Dorset village is reminiscent of the savannah.

Hope you are well again. Nature walks are strange in these times and also depressing.I tend to stay in our garden where we saved at least the potted plants by using prozess water from the kitchen mostly.

Yes, thank you, Ola, I am feeling better now. We have also been recycling our ‘grey’ water from showers and washing up. Many areas are now suffering from a water shortage in Britain but we have been reusing our water for several years, especially for flushing the loo, and have nearly halved our water consumption.

So pleased you are well again. We have rain clouds today here in Gloucestershire where we will be for a while. Maybe we will have some rain.

Thank you, Sandy. Our day started with thick mist, and rain is predicted for later. It is definitely a bit cooler too. Such a relief.

Not fair, Jessica. I’m so sorry you got COVID. Glad you’re up and around now and able to take such a stunning photo of these dried plants.

A couple of weeks even 3 times vaccinated – must have been hard times. Good to know you are well again. Nature is suffering also around here.

I hope you are getting the rain now. We have had some in Herefordshire but when I scrape the soil the dark colour only goes down about an inch. At least the heat has turned off.

We have only had mist and the slightest drizzle so far. I have discovered that the local river is still flowing well and full of luxuriant vegetation which looks very strange in the middle of the scorched landscape.

Just started this morning but for how long and how much is the question.

We are having some light rain right now but it will have to persist for some time if it is to have any real effect.
