SIR – While we have not had a glorious summer as yet, I wonder if any of your readers remember the summer of 1976 and the impact of the drought and heatwave locally?
I am collecting memories of droughts for a national archive and would gladly hear from anyone who would like to participate in this national project.
Participants would be interviewed by myself and the recordings will be placed in a national collection.
