I met some friends at the pub today for lunch ..... a nice light salad, a small glass of wine and a girly chat .....
Around about 3.00p.m., the heavens opened and, what we have all been waiting for happened. It came down in stair rods and went on & on & on and is still going on and it's now 6.30 p.m.
We pretty much had to wade through the car park to our cars ..... the water was up to our calves ..... my shoes are in the tumble drier as we speak !!! But, with the lovely, long awaited rain came devastation .....
My hydrangeas have been battered to within an inch of their lives !!! Hopefully, they will perk up when the sun comes out again !
Oh, and we have now been told by Thames Water { our water supplier } that a hosepipe ban will begin on the 24th of August !!!!
