Return of the Rain

The rain that had been forecast all week, suddenly came on in a pretty huge downpour – that went on all day!

Pretty much no point trying to do anything outside – it was time for a bit of a rest anyway. Is it a bad thing to spend most of the day inside playing the X-Box with your teenage niece?? 😀 We had fun anyway!

We had a lot of wind, so I did spend a little time outside putting all the containers back on the lettuce seedlings, checked on the soggy chickens and watered some things in the hothouse

I find things look pretty in the rain…

And really, that’s all the new news from Norwich House! Apparently there is a lot more rain on the way, so I am glad we got in and did what we could in the garden while the days were nice! Now to sit tight and wait for the sun to return!

Cheers!

    1. Thanks!I always feel the same way looking at photos from opposite seasons of some of my friends gardens! Its still raining today – not as ferociously – but a few more flowers are appearing! Soon we will be a riot of colour! (I hope)
      Mind you – I will be lapping up the photos of autumn from your end of the world too! 🙂

      1. Hi Lisa, so fun to watch your seedlings start as I clean out my spent ones. Our days are getting cooler and shorter. Thanks for sharing, I enjoy your blog.
