After the Rains…..everything is refreshed

We have enjoyed a wonderful summer.  Driest, hottest and sunniest for many years, and that’s official!…but we did reluctantly have to admit to needing the rain.  Well we have had a few heavy downfalls and though we moaned’ we have to say’ that it has left the countryside refreshed with the greens once again verdant and the rocks washed clean.  There is more rain forecast but the brief sunny intervals are a delight to enjoy…..

I guess it will help delay the onset of Autumn and may be it will even help create those colours of autumn we all love.
