Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain….
Seems to me that the negativity around the recent ‘British Monsoons’ is getting out of hand. If you’ve been flooded out, then fair enough, but for those of us lucky enough to live on high ground, let’s stop moaning!
So in my attempt to redress the balance here are my reasons for embracing the rainy weather.
- A least we’re not moaning that it’s too hot as we would be if the sun was out.
- The garden is happy… it’s too wet to cut the grass and there is no need to water the plants (hooray!)
- They can’t enforce a hose-pipe ban (can they?)
- I can happily sit and watch the rain rather than rush around like a lunatic trying to get all those summertime jobs done.
…anymore?…

I'm going on a course tomorrow to learn the basics of using lime, with a view to working on the pointing of the stonework at the barn myself.
Building Progress ~ December 2007, week 3 and 4 on December 31st, 2007
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!
Obviously with nasty old Christmas getting in the way (!) progress has slowed a little, but not to the extent I would have expected.
Pears ~ help needed! on July 6th, 2007
We have a few fruit trees just behind the barn.
Gas Pipeline Woes on June 23rd, 2007
A rainbow rose over the pipeline today!
I must admit I loathe the thing.
Firm Foundations? on July 20th, 2007
I’ve had a few concerns about the foundations of the barn, specifically how much of the soil that has built up around the walls we will be able to clear to install new drains and discourage damp without exposing the foundations.
