And we have rain

At last, a band of rain passed over Gloucestershire today - the first for a fortnight or so.


Relief. That cats aren't getting so dusty either.


And a few buds are appearing on the Apple trees to go with the leaves on the quince.

Shakespeare got it wrong .....

.... not only doth the rain not raineth every day, it doesn't do it at all at the moment! Not a drop in the last week.


If this goes on, I'll be out on the hill, ranting at the sky like Gerard Depardieu in Jean de Florette, except I'll be doing more overacting.
