Rain, rain, go away

Who could believe it's October. The rain is still pelting down like we were in the middle of winter. The earth is absolutely soaked and I have had enough! I want some toasty warm weather, a little sun, without the biting wind. I am over it!

I am glad daylight saving has started. In my mind, that means warmer, longer days. We can do things like go for after dinner walks.

With some nagging from Isabel, we set off on a stroll to the drain. It's rather full at the moment.

We were down here a few weeks ago catching taddies. They are now in our fish pond. It was blowing a gale, the kids didn't care. They threw rocks in the water and inevitably could not resist getting thier gumoots full of water, after me warning them to be careful not to. Who was I kidding?

Nothing a bath didn't fix when we arrived home at seven o'clock.
