After the Rain

 Five inches over 3 days in our second week of rain. Now we are back to heat and humidity. Christmas won't be a white one, but hopefully under 30 C.


I was surprised to see the groundsman sheltering under the tree from the rain, but even more so, to see him back at work when the rain eased!


Thankfully the Hungry Hikers were able to enjoy their nibbles and wine by the river the following day, after the annual and magnificent 'Spirit of Christmas' concert.





I would love to read your comment.

    1. We think we have found the perfect location for our after show tradition. One has to book the performance in March.
