Rain doesn't stop play

Sitting on the terrace discussing our plans for the day when we hear a few loud bangs on the corrugated roof. Minutes later - this. Anna was happily already in her swimming costume and able to take full advantage of the brief downpour. Only lasted about 10 minutes but enough to save me the job of plant watering today. Her shower is coming from the fish-head gutters that take the water from the roof. You can see them better here.

They wouldn't be up to the job of protecting Hurricane Irene I fear. Watching closely the different end to the summer that's happening on the east cost of America and hoping that everyone stays safe.
