Love that rain splash on the table in pic 2 Lincs...We've had no shortage of the stuff here, guess that makes us lucky!

I`ve been out doing the waterrun, both butts near the house were overflowing so I`ve been transferring to spares down the garden, also added an extra bin near the house to save my legs lol, bottom pond topped up naturally as well..
Pics taken through my window Pimpernel, I might be getting wet but not my camera...

Yes! Lovely pics Lincs . . . and isn't it great. Very happy to seeing it pouring all day (first time for weeks), especially as I haven't got to go anywhere. A friend called in at coffee time and we had a "toffee cappuccino" :))

I must be inspired by all the good ideas on GoY. Have spread all my seed trays and pots out on the tops of my side tables in the rain to have a free wash.

We couldn't be much further down South ... water butts are filling and we have put containers out to catch the rain falling off the perspex roof of the pergola ... not that we're desperate or anything! ... Even the birds seem to be saying 'Thanks' ... splashing around in the baths ... :o)))

Lovely REAL rain here in Berkshire too, all day and some sleet. Much needed but it won't take long for us to get fed up with it if it continues.......in fact, that's enough now thanks! LOL

I know what you mean Lily but I can accept it for a while, got lots to do indoors and there`s always my greenhouse, lol...

Love the raindrop splash on the table with the cute robin! We have a rainy 'window' at the moment - much needed like yours. Now the surrounding mountainsides might turn from dusty grey to lush green at last!
