The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.borth-weather.co.uk\">Borth Weather Station<\/a> recorded more than four times as much rain on Monday (25.2mm) than we had for the whole of April (5.6mm).

We did afterall have a new lawn laid which could have done with some rain! We have had to water it ourselves to help get it established. Hopefully yesterday&#8217;s rain will have given it a good drenching and keep it going for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stripes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lawn itself is also two-tone. The people turfing it ran out of turf and were going to order some more. However, they had some leftover from a different job so soon popped back and laid that for us. Trouble is, it seems to be a different species or different mix of grass. So we now have a two-tone lawn. What would have been good would have been to lay the two different types alternatively so as to create a nice striped lawn effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/two-tone-lawn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/two-tone-lawn.jpg\" alt=\"Two Tone Lawn\" class=\"wp-image-36174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/two-tone-lawn.jpg 850w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/two-tone-lawn-200x150.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Two Tone Lawn<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh well, I&#8217;m sure it will blend into each other eventually.
