1st August 07

Rain, rain, rain. As the country slowly sinks, 
Well that was how I started my Garden Today posting a month ago and it hasn't stopped since. Indeed the floods have been the worst on record. Difficult to flood on our hilly outcrop though. This rain has meant that I haven't needed to water anything and, indeed, the garden is greener than ever. 
Today the sun is out for once so I took the opportunity to take some photos and update the site. 
Sorry for the long gap...Rain really did stop play!

My favourite spot in the evenings to listen to The Archers...
