Somehow, though, the countryside managed to green up with the bit of rain we did get, and we had a truly magnificent flower season this year. So whilst the farmers cry out for rains, and the dams are low, and we can expect even more severe water restrictions this summer, it has been a great season for the holiday visitors.
