Water of Life

As I strolled down to the Scout HQ to fulfil my democratic duty, I was rather surprised to find this unusual wet stuff falling from the sky.
OK, so it's not actually that long since it last rained here, but the North-West of England is starting to look strangely dry.

Let's hope a good downpour ensues, for the sake of farmers, fire-fighters and United Utilities.

A GOOD THING turned up outside my front door today - more tomorrow.
