The Rain in Spain.......

You did say the rain would be welcome Chris,pleased you got home safely and yes will XX fingers for you............

Trouble with that sort of rain is that it runs straight off with very little of it soaking into the ground. Back to the watering, lol.

Have a lovely time with your friend Chris...even if you are rained on!

Driving through that rain storm must have been scary but that sort of rain as Wagger said does little good continuoos rain is what we need here its not rained for weeks the grass looks dead and the soil is dust I think I may have lost my 10 year old Rowan to draught hardly leaf left fingers crossed.

Hopefully it's just shed the leaves to conserve water, Drc - just a bit early.

I wondered who got all the rain from the clouds brewing over our mountains! Could you send some of it back north to here, please, only the grass in the meadows is crunchy and the sheep are having a hard time finding anything tasty!

You are most welcome to it Nariz. The sky was cloud-free and bright blue when I got up. There is some build up cloud but it's not threatening (yet)
After the car's 'swim' yesterday - it has lost it's voice ! I have no horm. Last time we had torrential rain the horn was affected but it never disappeared completely.
On the plus side the rain didn't run off - all my plants are beautifully moist :-)

It rained here on the kent/sussex border all night which was after I had watered and done a rain dance!

As you were! We had a day-long thunderstorm yesterday and everything is now dripping! That's the trouble living in a valley surrounded with mountains - it gets its own lovely micro-climate as the mountains stop a lot of the bad weather getting into the valley .... BUT .... if the clouds manage to find the secret way in .... they rumble around for days before finding the way out again! A bit like Shangri-La!

Wednesday afternoon brought torrential rain and Thunderstorms. I drove along the autopista to the airport with lightening all around, quite glad to get into the relative peace of the car park. My friends flight went from 25 mins early to 10 late. But she got in OK. Rain yesterday afternoon too but we are having fun anyway. Today has been dry so far but it's blowing half a gale.
Looked up your region Nariz - it's beautiful. Good to know your mountains are protecting your micro climate. Our range has failed badly this last few days :-)

Well after that thunderstorm ours haven't done too well either! Still, we had a nice sunny day yesterday - shame everything underfoot was muddy! Won't be able to get in the garden for several days! But the sheep are happy - and cleaner!
