I did read something that country file , kwis and the ginger gink had been heavily criticized by some committee about the fact that country file , autumn watch and stuff like that bore no resemblance to country life.

Penelope Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 These forecast storms, although bringing welcome rain, could have a negative impact for lake/pond fisheries if they have had an algal bloom during these hot conditions.

Big concern for me right now. One of my syndicates is well managed on the oxygenation front, well all fronts really, the other is pretty much left to its own devices (64 members and I was the only one on there overnight).

Scully Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) Thunder and rain forecast in my part of Cumbria for today; so far it’s bright and sunny and as dry as a nuns doodah, with no sign of rain. Same for tomorrow, but with even more rain. We’ll see. Edited August 15, 2022 by Scully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
