Welcomed Rain (yesterday).


   

After what seems like months of drought, we've now had a morning of good solid rain.

What's more, if it continues like this for a while we'll probably have mushrooms (Cèpes) in about 10 days time.

For two years running our nearby annual Chestnut and Cèpe Fair (16th-17th Oct) has been Cèpe-less, so our fingers are crossed. Nothing is certain with mushrooms.

The poor dogs are not happy. It's bloody POURING.

  7. We need it here too Cro. Not a sign of mushrooms yet. What's the betting that we get frost just as the mushrooms start to appear.

  9. What a lovely sound..the patter of rain. If there is nothing important to be done it's the perfect time for a nap.

  10. Nothing is more miserable to look at than a dog who doesn't care to go out in the rain.

    1. I have to admit that I just opened the door to let them out. Monty rushed out, had a pee, and came back instantly. Bok just looked at it, and stayed indoors till it stopped a bit.
