As transformations go, it's quite a turnaround. Heavy downpours in south-west England have turned the region's scorched earth into lush greenery in a matter of days. The lawns at Cathedral Green in Exeter, Devon, were left a golden brown earlier this month after weeks of blazing sunshine. But just a week of heavy rain has put paid to that and now the grass has returned to a healthy, lush green colour.
The rapid transformation has stunned locals and regular visitors to the city. Stuart Adams, reception manager at the Royal Clarence Hotel, which overlooks the cathedral, said he welcomed the rains. He said: 'We get a lot of visitors and tourists, and some commented on the brown grass surrounding the cathedral. 'The rain has brought a wonderful transformation and I'm relieved the greenery is back. It looks totally refreshed.'
Grass grows when watered.
Talk about a slow news day.
