We are lucky to have rain!

Having said that, I think that all of us, whether we are farming or whether we are people living wherever here in this country, just need to remember that we are so fortunate, we do actually get rain.  But by and large, sometimes we get too much of it, sometimes we get it all on one day or so it seems, but we are very fortunate.  I go to Uganda quite frequently, and I’ve been to places where the rains have failed.  That means 12 months in some cases, no water, no rain.  And you then come back and think “Yeah, what am I moaning about?”  We are fortunate.  We still get water.  We complain sometimes the water pressure isn’t high enough, isn’t strong enough, we think the water looks a funny colour today, but we’ve still got a tap and we turn on water, so we are very fortunate.  I think we need to keep things in perspective when we’re thinking about our weather pattern.
