Rain!

 

Has your day been like ours? The continuous rain has made up for weeks of dry days. It has poured down since early morning. I had the umbrella and wheels battle to SW, which was a disaster, where did that 2 pounds come from?? And I haven't had any ice cream for 6 weeks, 6 whole weeks!!! Ah well draw a line and start again, but not till after this weekend! Our fruit buns were delicious and we have some for the week left.

This bird feeder is just a photo of one like ours, its too wet to go out and get a photograph, but a little Gold Finch has sheltered in ours most of the afternoon, the rain was that heavy. The other feeders have had a pair of Collared Doves, small birds take shelter in rain, sensible birds.

We have sheltered too, after a drive home from SW via the front prom, lots of cars but not many people walking. A young woman with children well waterproofed, just like me and my children on all the West Country holidays we had in the rain!  I used to take them to the beach where they kicked up the sand and puddles with their wellies, and we made rock towers, and went back the next day to see if they've survived the sea. Isn't this a super one (stock pic)

I've read a big chunk of my book and may finish it later, 'Redemption' by Jack Jordon. Well worth a read, its good, with something happening all the time.

What else can you do in the rain?
