Before the rain

and not necessarily what you want to find in your garden..This "stinger" has appeared as if by magic in the bottom border.

A quieter day today spent doing odds & ends  - I also popped over to D & N's for a cuppa - we were due to go to Waddesdon Manor (NT) tomorrow but the forecast is not good so we have agreed to go next week when it looks better ??

Oh yes & I made one of my Chilli Con Carnes this morning - we ate some tonight & I think I may have slipped up with the chilli powder - it's a hot one !

Cloudy start then after lunch some nice wet rain - just what we need.

Keep the faith...
