Down came the rain ....

..... in torrents!

Everything is so wet .. the garden is a quagmire .. even the birds are staying away. I did spy a very bedraggled squirrel trying to nibble at the fat block this morning ... photography conditions were awful so I left the little squirrel to continue with his breakfast.

Knowing I had to have a blip I donned my waterproof jacket and went out to the back to take a photograph of my hellebore which is not looking too bad considering the recent weather.
