rain

The 2 winters we have spent in this area have been dry ones, and the flood meadows at the back of the house have been relatively dry.
This week however, has seen them covered in water. Keith took these 2 photos yesterday afternoon and evening:


It has also filled up our rainwater harvester, so our washing machine & loos are functioning on recycled water.

We were pleased to see Brian & Ann Carter, old colleagues & friends from Dunstable. Now living in Gloucestershire, they called in to see us and brought a lovely plant for our garden. As Jackie & Rob from Irthlingborough have given us fruit bushes, and a new acquaintance, Rachel from Thrapston has given us some lemon balm, I must make time to look after them all!
