Much needed rain


We have had a lovely lot of rain over the last few days. The allotment will be really grateful.

When we were there at the weekend I found that the pond that the ducks used to love swimming in had totally dried up in the hot weather.

All that was left was a thick layer of silt deposited by the ducks, and two balls which at onetime, were full of barley straw to try to keep the water clear.

It will be interesting to see how much rain we have actually had.
