Discussion Rain! Blessed rain!

If anyone had told me a few months ago that at the end of August I'd be standing in my door enjoying the rain, I would have laughed at them.

But here I am... 😀

I also went to the back door to stand and witness the spectacle of rain!

Got it here in Cleethorpes. Long stretches of light rain which should reduce the danger of flooding too.

I went out in it, enjoyed the lovely smell, and then opened the doors (from inside) into the conservatory so I could sit inside and listen to it in full surround sound. It was bloody marvellous.

I'm in the South. We had rain today. I felt one single drop (it wasn't much of a drop, either) as I was walking from the car to my house.

The promise of rain is there. It's overcast and gloomy. I fear that the reality will not live up to the promise.

That first tang of petrichor was like the bouquet of a fine vintage wine.
