Just a sip.

We returned home to tales of withering heat!

The garden has gone feral. Grass inches tall, rampant weeds and some of the more sheltered flowers wilted and dead. Thankfully Grampy has been around to water the greenhouse which is now full of foliage. The Avocado tree has reached the roof [What now?]

So today, as I prepared to get the mower out it began to rain, and rain and rain. Gardening plans scuppered I stayed in the house and pottered. And when the rain relented I took up a camera to view the floods.

Here is a meadow brown drinking from my flooded conservatory floor. [Don't worry - it's not finished yet. They are coming to put the top on and make it rainproof this week {you Hope!}]
