At Last

Rain at last!! It started a light misty rain here in Gloucestershire at about 5am (I don’t sleep too well!!) now it’s 7.30 and the rain is getting heavier! I just checked the 5 day forecast and it looks pretty rainy to me, if they are right!!
Hope all those who need rain get some!!
Photo is of my wet patio, I rather like the effect of the rain, all shiny and reflective. Wetness reminds me of when I was about five years old and living in London. Driving with my parents at night and watching al colours of the shop windows and street lamps reflecting on the wet pavements.
And talking about pretty colours, whilst deleting not so good photos from my computer (a long and arduous process) there came and sat upon the top of the open window a baby Goldfinch. Sadly my camera was out of reach as it would have been a really good photo!!

Not fair - rain was forecast here, and did it happen? Nope! We've had one millimetre today.......so I've got the hose on again. I can't bear to see my plants dying. Out with the cans again this evening, I suspect!
