The sky's gone a funny colour and there's water falling!

I'd almost forgotten how restful a grey sky is to my eyes, the garden's perking up a bit and my water butt is almost refilled.

I stayed in and made High Dumpsey Dearie Jam and planned some new dishes for autumn, mostly food from the Levant, which I love so much.

Now it's cooled down and I'm sleeping a bit better, my brain has started to work again and I'm not walking around in a constant fog.

What have you been up to this soggy saturday?

  • A day late. It's great to see the rain and a relief to have no more watering to do for a while. The water butts have overflowed.

    We did have some breaks, so I enjoyed a short walk in the cool and walking up the garden in a short period of sun. It is also good to lose the dry dusty atmosphere. When it rained I looked through the bargain seeds I bought last year to make plans in my book for next year.

    The cooler nights are definitely welcome too and less noise from neighbours.
