The Smell of Rain

Firstly, thank you for your reactions to yesterday’s images. It was a pleasure to attend the day and if you’re near Stafford I can thoroughly recommend the event.

Working in the garden today, finding a storage box could no longer be easily brought out to clean. After much effort I managed, but then thought it better to reposition it to make it easier in future. That meant relaying the bricks only to find a large network of holes probably caused by rats! The job expanded as a result. 

The storage box was to be used for garden cushions though I didn’t think I would need it so quickly. I was grabbing something from the conservatory only to hear the very unfamiliar sound of raindrops on the roof. Quickly out to grab the cushions and put the away, only for the rain to stop. It had hardly wetted the decking. 

It was noticeable that the smell of rain was there in the garden, something I’ve only noticed after a long dry period.
