I LOVE the rain!!!!!!!!

MellowYellow

A rain lover!!! Hooray! I love it too, as I can't take hot days. I sit out on my patio swing seat under an umbrella with a raincoat on, very early in the morning, with bare legs. It's bonkers but beautiful. (Also, my allotment needs rain, so maybe that makes me a bit biased ha ha.)

I’d have joined you, then! I get up early to enjoy the magic of the morning before the rest of the world wakes up. I was outside very early this morning sitting under the parasol, watching the rain. Fabulous!

Bonkers but beautiful: love it

Does anyone else like to walk barefoot on freshly rained on grass?

That'll be a no then.......

No

And it's a No from me.

Some rain here today in Stockport area but not enough to soak my flower beds which are under my neighbours overhanging conifers! It needs to rain heavily for hours to reach my bushes. As I replanted some this year, I might be watering them tomorrow unless it rains a lot over night.

We did have a wonderful rainbow this evening.

Yes

You're not far from me Teacheranne and I can't believe you've not had much rain! It's been torrential all day just 12 miles away from you; thunderstorms, hail, sunshine and rainbows, all in one day. My water butt is overflowing!

Starblaze We don't recommend bare feet! Treading on a Copperhead or a Red-bellied or any one of a dozen others would definitely be a case of "never again!"

Snakes? Woah!

Or a cane toad!

Filling my dads water butts up for him on his allotment and my old waste bin for my plants.

Washing all the patio and the pavements of yuk.

It rained that hard on my conservatory roof last week it washed all the bird poo off the roof from the house martins up above and cleaned all my gutters of muck
