And it did. And it wasn’t really a little. Less shower, more downpour. And I had left my waterproofs at home. I know, “call yourself a professional” and all that, but I have not been my usual super-efficient self of late. Mind you, I may have imagined that self. The deluge began in earnest just as I was getting vicious with an out-sized cornus. Perhaps it was for the best. So I took my consumptive self inside to discuss plants and make plans with Max’s Dad for a couple of exhausting hours. Looking through catalogues, googling, gossiping, swooning and dreaming, with me playing the devil on MD’s vulnerable shoulder. Not a bad way to spend a morning. Beats working for a living. Mind you that cornus still needs some work, don’t think I’ve forgotten you!

Sorry you got rained on, it’s never where you need it, continuous drizzle here and we wanted some heavy rain to wash off that gravel. And it seems that you made the best of it, one has to find time to plan.

Soon, more visitors, then a trip to mum and dad, then I should be back and raring to go with the mushroom compost, after I have dug in my 850kg dumpy bag of 10mm grit. It’s better than going to the gym!

Although it makes it difficult to get things done in the garden, I have to confess I’m glad the rain is back, even when it’s lots of rain. Our endless summer was a bit freaky.

What would be fall without raining? A little or a lot 😉 But you had a good time in the end.
