Drought declared in the Midlands - as people are urged to 'use water wisely'
Drought has been declared in the West and East Midlands, with dry weather continuing to "impact water resources across England".
The Environment Agency said the National Drought Group (NDG) had stepped up its operational response and "asks people to play their part in managing the drought and use water wisely".
It's been raining for hours in our corner of Derbyshire. Not that one wet day will fill the reservoirs, but it's an entertaining reminder of Denis Howell's role as Minister for Drought in 1976 and the heavy rainfall which occurred a few days after his appointment.

You should have seen what came down here yeaterday. Like you say, maybe not enought to fill a res, but it made me greateful I managed to find a decent roofer a couple of years ago, who ended our recurring leaks
Bucko - we had some heavier rain after I posted, but no torrents. We had the whole roof replaced this year as the old one was leaking and too obviously past it if we want to sell. Finding a decent roofer prepared to do small jobs isn't easy.
