Rain, too bad about that flooding--looks extreme! How fast does it disappear?[when it stops raining, that is]
Hi Inkadog, it drains away quite quickly when it stops raining but the ground stay soft for weeks unless we get some sunshine which there is a decided lack of at the moment.
Sunshine and showers today but thankfully the Water Board have been and cleared a blockage, it seems that 3 drains were blocked that's why mine wouldn't empty, they water blasted it and 2 tennis balls an iron bar and big chunks of cardboard later it's free, the chap said judging by the colour of the muck that came out of the drain it had been blocked for some considerable time, so I know I shouldn't wish for more heavy rain but I just want to see it all disappear down the drain.
As those living in the UK are probably already aware, the past 3 months have been the wettest April-June for over 100 years, since records began in 1910.
Well! Just watched the Footie in my hotel room! Not a bad game to say I am not really a big fan! @ Lorelei hoping the weather in your neck of the woods does pick up, as I arrived in Portbury tea time today n am here for a full week! Was lovely when I arrived! But wouldn't ya know! After tea it began to rain!!
Sunshine and cloud 18.3c at the moment slight breeze but it did rain through the night not very heavy though but the ground is wet enough so desperately need the sun to dry it out.
Well,July looks as tho its going to be as wet as June was ! I dont think it has stopped raining here today. So grey and dismal will we ever see the sun again ??

Do the birds drink out of the teasel pond Gary ?
Blazing sunshine ????? We just had a torrential downpour here in Bristol. Will we ever see blazing sunshine again ???
Rain and gloom here too--stuck in a cloud and can't see the water. Too bad, because it's the Canada Day long weekend.

Nice photos, Gary---may as well make lemonade! My favorite plants in the rain are the Aeoniums.
