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.

  • I often forget to water the green house when it's wet out, of course it dosen't rain in the green house.

    It's really windy here and raining quite hard too, should have a lovely rainbow as the sun's still shining through the clouds.
