Wet Wet Wet!!!

Well today it has rained....................a lot!!!! Torrential fierce tank filling rain. Such a difference to yesterday when everybody just about expired from the heat. Now everything is sodden, dripping and very lovely!!!!

Rain drips everywhere!

Thank goodness l put an extra tarp on the side of the hay this morning!

My poor beautiful pink rose bush is bashed broken and hanging down! Some have snapped off and the rest are looking very bedraggled!

 The hills are hidden and covered in mist!

No, this isn't a fountain, its my lovely wrought iron candlestick that's sitting outside.Not ideal for cast iron but l will tip it out tomorrow and let it dry off somewhere as we have rain most of the week l think.

The rivulet is a rushing torrent. Hopefully the platypus is tucked safely away in a dry corner somewhere!

Blue the calf trying to eat the towel that keeps the wind off the side of the goat's pen!! We don't even SEE the goats in this weather! They snuggle up inside out of the rain and l feed them copious amounts of willow branches in their shed!

Its a good feeling to be in January with three large tanks overflowing with water. l think we can safely say that they will see us through the rest of Summer quite well, No 2 minute showers for us !

But a night in front of the fire is definitely on the cards!
