Seriously soggy day here, and everywhere else by the sound of it. The valley is still beautiful; the rain brings out all the greens. It is so steep here that our house and the workshop's garden pretty much looks out at treetop level.
Anyone who struggles with what we laughingly call 'gardening' can take comfort. The squishy green pile of moss the cat is lying on is our lawn. I have no idea how she is always so clean; she doesn't mind rain, dirt or mud.
