The weather over the last year has been a little strange. We've just finished four straight days of heavy rain. I can't remember when it has rained so heavily and consistently. Because of the sheer volume of water yesterday, the garden was flooded in parts, but a few years back, after the big storms of 2002, I put land drains in, in critical areas, and this has been working well. No water stays too long because of the land drains and because we are on a slight incline, but the garden also gets inundated with water from higher ground and it's this water that's the main cause of the excess. With the benefit of hindsight it's certainly something to consider when buying a house around here.
