...ON A DAY OF METEOROLOGICAL CONTRASTS
With biblical thunderstorms, it was far too wet to even consider gardening. Instead, errands and appointments were kept. It was hard not to feel smug having mowed all the lawns before the storms arrived. Weatherwise - it was quite a day. Torrential and positively equatorial rain all morning meant flood water even in the greenhouse! No watering the tomatoes needed as they were awash. In Ombersley the floodwater was 18" deep and yet by the the afternoon it had nearly all disappeared and the sun came out.

Mawley Hall and acres of waving oats in the afternoon |

A freshly showered Osteospermum...... |

..and yet 'Fox-Dragons' bathed in afternoon sunshine. |
