Well we cannot say that we were not warned! In the event it wasn't anything like as dramatic as it threatened to be but either way I wasn't going to leave the house and neither was the little Sony. We did not receive 8 inches of rainfall mid-afternoon which was a good thing because by then all of our tanks were full to overflowing and any more might have caused awful erosion. We now have something in the region of 100 cubic metres of water stored on site which is unheard of in mid July. A lot to do with a swimming pool that no longer leaks I think.

Bretta and Vespa asked if they could borrow a cardigan or two and I felt a little guilty.
