Still no Rain
Not much to report at the moment - I have just returned from England. It was surprisingly hard to leave the UK this time. In ten years overseas I have only been to England in high summer or deepest winter, and had forgotten just how beautiful the countryside can be in this season. I walked along the cliffs of Cornwall through the smell of coconut coming from the gorse flowers, and wandered through woods paved with bluebells. To keep things in perspective I also photographed the brown flow from a sewage outfall pipe and a hideous caravan park along the cliffs.
While I was gone, Rita went up to look after the vegetables and reports that the weeds just keep on coming. She removed another few thousand and watered the vegetable beds. It is still very dry here but unfortunately we will not be able to go and water our thirsty seedlings until Friday. For now, I am hoping for rain, rain and more rain.
