Parks, golf courses, roadside verges and household gardens are all still watered with expensively produced clean drinking water.

To this end we walk the dog play golf go fishing sit in the garden drink outside rather than inside the pub have a picnic live in the suburbs go to the seaside buy a weekend place in the country.

We were whisked by golf buggy past fountains and manicured gardens to a cool, airy suite overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
