@LeeEvansCymru The big drought of 1976 was far worse. It stopped raining in late April and did not resume until October. The rivers were under much less pollution pressure in those days though and seemed to survive the ordeal quite well.
@GayleMarsh14 Visiting a special place like that can only help. I have recently lost my great fishing companion of many years which has made me feel quite low though I know with some patience I will pick up again as will you.
@Jamiewa50042387 Good to meet you last Saturday along the Wye cliffs. Any chance of the Bee hybrid location you promised and the Lesser Twayblade. Good plant hunting. Alan
