to find it had rained quite a lot, and nothing had died, in fact, many plants were putting forth new leaves as though it was spring again! Like the magnolia tree.

So I feel like gardening again now, because at least it is not like looking at a famine landscape.

In Spain there was no rain, but lots of flowers. I realised that even if our climate does change we can still have flowers, in abundance, and that we may have to get Spanish flowers which can withstand the long hot dry spells.
