Water from the sky!

After what has seemed like a dry spell without end, water did fall from the sky today. Gardeners were seen to fall to their knees in praise and thanks.

I have not mowed out 'lawn' since July, and most of it still seems alive.

Other parts of the country, Manchester mainly, has had apparently had weeks and weeks of non-stop rain.

Oh well; it has meant that we have had great conditions for growing things in our garden; 56 pounds of tomatoes, lots of strawberries, a glut of courgettes and now we wait on the pumpkins and maize. Yay.

It is now misty most mornings and the grass is wet with heavy dew. The sun rises usually blood through the mist and clouds, and now it is soon to be dark before we drive home. And so the world turns and the seasons change.
