Rain, Rain and more Rain!!!

It rained most of yesterday and the same today... We think our guest, Elizabeth's son David has brought it with him from Lancashire... It has been sunny there today... Sorry David.

Regular readers will know we had three and now have two large weeping willow trees in the garden. These provide excellent shade when the sun shines but require a haircut several times a year to get rid of the lower growth.

The best time to do this is when the trees are laden with water and boy have they been laden over the past couple of days. So Elizabeth donned my old sea fishing waterproof and with shears in hand...

Elizabeth the master pruner, 
She also cuts my hair too... Not much difference really!

Apologies for the photographs, they were taken through the Kitchen window!! Well you don't think I was getting wet do you...

These are great images.... it's pouring with rain here in the Languedoc too. I'm blaming it on my Yorkshire and Lancashire visitors too.

I bet you never thought you would need your old sea fishing gear in France !!
Which just goes to prove you should NEVER throw anything out !!

He doesn't need any encouragement him, Jean; it's hard enough already to get him to throw anything out!!
