Don't be fooled by the lush look. We've got some pretty scorched areas which aren't looking so green. We've been focusing the water on the important areas.

There are predictions that food prices will continue to shoot up. A lovely organic apple farm in the south had a massive crop failure last season. I don't think they were the only ones whose crops were down. It was particularly sad as we knew the owners and they've decided to sell up, with her health not being so great any more either.

I hope you get a better season next year.
