And yet more rain.

We are very lucky people, we live in a really beautiful stretch of the English countryside, and more important (given the last two days weather) we live on top of a hill.

The River Thames has burst its banks at Pangbourne and the village is impassable.



But it WAS sunny this morning so lulled into a false sense of security I dragged Brian and the dogs out for a W-A-L-K in the afternoon at Lardon Chase, which has fabulous views.



There was a *bit* of sun, but then the clouds gathered.

And then, well, we had to hide under a tree.

We got wet, very wet. But then we were treated to this:


The rainbow was over Streatley, where ironically the regatta today was cancelled because its too wet. Hang on - aren't regattas held ON the river?


Next time I suggest a walk "between squalls", someone remind me to keep my trap shut please?
