We fired up the Ghillie Kettle to have our usual cup of coffee and started pottering about watering in the green house, pulling weeds etc. But then a few spits started. Not so bad, we thought. The cloud cover was still light, but it did look darker on the horizon so we carried on. It was only a couple of minutes later that we realised that it was getting darker so we did a mad dash to collect all the currently available courgettes (and a beetroot) before it got really bad.
By the time we grabbed these and dashed back inside the greenhouse (to finish our coffees) it really starting coming down. So we decided that we didn't need to water outside, and we made a beeline for the car and home.
Even so, we were a little bit wet but nothing a warm shower, dry clothes and a nice courgette soup made from one of the above (I think it was the one on the far left) couldn't fix.
I just carried on picking blackberries (7 tubs full) despite the rain. Husband hid in the shed though!
ReplyDeleteSorry Sarah, but I'm going to side with your husband on this. Delicious as blackberries are (and I do like making Blackberry and Apple Jam) collecting them in the rain is more dedication than I care to take.
