Sorry to hear you had such awful rain Rosie. I hope it's dryer for you today, and the work can go ahead.

I'm waiting for someone to put a new roof on my garage. I use it as a work shed for making pottery things, and I want to be able to get on with it over the winter. They're waiting for a dry spell to do it but I see the autumn approaching now and it still hasn't been done

The car/bike standing there all exposed reminded me of the other garage you lost before, looks like it's been blown away!

Here we've had little yet though.

We have had the driest winter and summer for 11 years.

I checked up on the position of the jet steam, it normally skirts the top of Scotland...it is now about half way down Britain! it it doesn't move north again we will have another shocking winter

It also accounts for all the rain we have have had this summer.

The front bed drained very quickly, we, and by 'we' i mean Graham ;D is working the ground for me, doing new beds etc so the compacted ground has been opened up which helped it drain away easier

I bet that down-pour was exciting though

It was Sue, the heavens just opened, it was quite dramatic and of course i stood outside in it with no jacket or brolly ;D ;D

It's just so refreshing standing out in the rain, and i like the way my hair sits(not that i am fussy about my scraggy mop :

after the rain.
Plus summer rain sometimes has the best smell ;D

I remember once in Singapore during a water shortage (yes they have them there too) the water was cut off and we had to fill the bath with water when it was on for using for everything.
Anyway there was a tropical downpour so I stripped off and went out into the walled garden for a shower.
just got covered in soapy lather when the rain stopped. I had to try and get the soap off by splashing from the puddles.
Not a pretty sight

I'll get around to it eventually
