    RTBC today is the 4 hours of rain we’ve had today! 

    I'll give you one guess what I spend much of yesterday doing to my garden borders. :D

    Just enough rain yesterday to make my clay wonderfully crumbly
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I count myself very fortunate as, although the ground will become very hard after long dry periods, a good period of rain or watering for 30 to 45 minutes will have it easy to dig again with 24 to 48 hours.

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Indeed, @Dovefromabove, does nobody do their homework any more?

    Went to two brocantes/vide greniers today with Possum and found absolutely nothing of interest until, upon leaving the village holding the second one we came across this

    You can just see a little bump which is the head of one of two chicks in the nest and we were amused to see at least 3 lots of sparrows visiting their own nests in the under storey.   

    On the way home we passed thru a wee hamlet called La Cigogne - The stork - and spotted a single, lightning struck tree with 5 nests in its bare branches, all occupied.

    Fabulous but couldn't stop for a pic.

    There's rain in the forecast for tonight and tomorrow. Now I just need it to actually arrive for a change (fingers and toes crossed).
