While many parts of Australia are still very much in the grip of drought, we experienced the wettest week in months.
It was just divine! The rain was lovely and steady, a good soaking rain many people commented. I think we had just over 100mm of rain in the week. This is great for my parched garden and brown lawn. Most of my plants appear to have a new lease and are vigorously striving onwards and upwards!
We rely on tank water too for all our water needs, washing, drinking, etc. So it was nice to see so many gallons of it going into the rainwater tanks.
This is the view looking outside our front door on a wet, rainy day.
Thats rain on my window pane!
I know that this is now completely off topic, but I am finding it actually quite difficult to be inspired to write anything at all in the light of what has been happening in India.
My thoughts tonight and over the last few days have been with the people of India. Having travelled through India twice in my lifetime and experiencing the most sincere hospitality and human kindness, I am devastated by the news of the terror attacks there. I always remember a gentleman in India telling me “India is very poor, but we are also very rich”. My sincere condolences to each and every person affected at this very difficult and heart breaking time.
