Had some rain at last....

This made me smile, you can just imagine how delighted he was, its been so dry. Like you our garden has seen so many bees and more Hoverflies than before.

Yay.....we are getting some rain too....already everything are looking happier, now I want to go out and play...tidy up some spent plants...but will wait patiently and let the rain do it's thing.:))))))))

I went out when it began raining Holly, on purpose, just to smell the freshness ! Now I sound like a detergent ad. ... lol !

Thanks stroller.... Michaella.... : O ))
Shirley.. wasnt it lovely and fresh.... and the tide was out so the sea smelt lovey too.....

Oh for goodness sake, stop making me jealous - we've still not had a drop here in my part of London - seen the clouds sailing overhead, loaded with rain, sailing straight on by...

I've watched the Pigeons and Doves do this in my garden they always make me smile Holly .. :o))

Wish i could send you some of our rain, since the hosepipe ban its rained every day, so really fed up with it, just been on tv that if it keeps raining like it is we will get ban lifted at end of August :(

End of August! Not much use then, is it.

What a lovely photo Holly, I can just imagine him thinking, "Bliss, a shower at last, no more need to roll around in the dust"!

Just seen this evening - someone's been running the hosepipe in our communal gardens,and it always leaks at the tap end - I walked by just now to find several bees sitting on the wet, knobbly concrete, looked like they were having a drink... Do they drink?

Not had any 'proper' rain here for ages when it does its not enough to do the garden any good :(

did you pass him the soap holly lol

I can understand how pleased you are with the rain and I love everything when its nice fresh after a shower, but really fed up of it here like Clarice says its rained almost evryday since our hose pipe ban some of the buds are rotting off with the wet, so would very gladly send you some more!

i totally agree carole im really fed up with rain now, spoiling my flowers ;o(

THanks everyone......hope all of you up north get some sun.... and all those who need rain get some rain...... still very dry here... been a nice sunny day but very very strong westerly winds again... it burns the leaves of the plants...
