Impromptu paddling pool

We have just had the heaviest rain storm shower which I had to cycle home in. I am expecting the rowing course to be flooded tomorrow morning - joy! I don't think the patio has ever been this flooded before. As you can see Tallulah was paddling around in it. This is about as deep as she goes where water is concerned. I raise the bench into stones for the winter - don't think I should have taken them away!!
