Pretty dreary in Somerset overnight and today. I suspect @deebeedoobee's dipstick might actually get its tip wet when she gets home.

That's no way to talk about digger!

Deary and soggy definitely sums up Pilton now. We managed to leave a festival about 20 mins away this morning in the sun but now its a different picture. I'm not going outside to check the well at the moment....I might get washed away.

My water butts had been dry up until the weekend. They are overflowing now.

I found historical weather for Pilton back as far as 2009. You can research further but not sure if you can for free. 

Are you sure you have the correct Pilton? There's also one in Devon and another in Northants.

[JacquelineS]

This is where I got it from. Does it look correct?

It's ok actually. Some surface water but most has drained away. It rained quite persistently yesterday and the ground has absorbed it well.

Talking of wells - dipstick says muddy. and the well plants look healthy again. still no frogs

The thing with glasto ground is that it's clay Init so if you have NO R then the ground is as hard as rock.. So a little R and the green green grass pops up and is all fluffy and lovely to sit on.. 

Thanks for the updates you folks.

I like the way we've all managed to forget about last year and just consign it to history

How will we decide which is the best hurt/heal thread?

 It is history though. Quite literally.

It's easy once you get into the right mode, or is it just an evil plot of mine?

Regression to the mean probably

Wouldn't that be a deviation from the original.

Yeah, but that's pretty standard.

It's been so hot in London recently that I've just assumed it's the same down pilton.
