So we’ve had some rain here in London and it’s done the garden some good. God knows how much more we’ll get over the next few days but we’ll be grateful of whatever we get. We’ve left out some B&Q buckets and the odd old saucepan out to see what we can catch.

Talking of watering, here’s a nice chilled out set found whilst looking for some downbeat tunes for a forthcoming shortwave mix. It’s by Past Palms and the five track set is called “Ambient Music for Watering Plants“. We’re loving all the tracks on this but it’s Meditation III: Philodendron that is the one for us at the moment. And here’s what Philodendron giganteum looks like. How mad is that for what is usually a pot plant?
