Oh, isn't it just wonderful? To hear rain coming off the roof into the water butt is a sound I'd forgotten all about. I actually stood by the open back door just to watch and smell the rain. My cat is currently sitting on a soaking wet garden path, waiting for a mouse to appear! : o )))

That's great! I know your garden has been gasping for some cool rain, I never would have thought that I'd be pleased for somebody to have rain! Funny old world! Lol!

RAIN, RAIN,RAIN, HERE TOO!!
I saw it yesterday coming from the continent on a very accurate German satellite weather site. It will only reach the south east counties, before heading east to the sea.
Those who may be interested the address is: http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/fsavneur.html and then click on Niederschlag.
You need not understand German like me.

No rain worth mentioning here in Newcastle, the garden and pot's are bone dry. I have given everything a good drink and will dunk some of the pot's tommorow.

So it was "Just walking in the rain, getting soaking wet" hope you were singing along with Johnny Rae.
amazing how a good downpour smells so good.

It came at last! It rained heavily for about two hours last night yippee! We had the most beautiful double rainbow too,but it wouldn't show up,when OH tried to take a picture..I wonde why? We could hear thunder in the distance,and the sky was very black,but dramatic..Only downside was,that the electric went off at 7pm till 9pm..maybe a coincidence..but just glad we had finished our evening meal,as the family were here..I had to light the gas hob with a match,to boil some water in a big pan..so we could have a cuppa with our cake..and we managed just fine..:o)
9 Jun, 2011
Perhaps the rainbow didnt want you to find its pot of gold Bloomer?
9 Jun, 2011
I never thought of that Denise..:o) It must know I have a state pension ! Lol.
