... we're in for a splash; ash before oak, we're in for a soak". Thus goes the country saying, which refers to the order in which the oak and ash trees come into leaf. Spot on this year: today was the first (rather mingy) rain we have had for weeks, and the oaks are all well into leaf, but the ash is still at the fat black bud stage.

I hope you're right about the soak. Our grass has more or less stopped growing and I'm getting complaints from the cows about their limited rations.
