Time I was doing splendid things in the kitchen... so I'm going to disappear like a poof... a poof of smoke that is!

Catch ya later!

Yesterday morning we had the odd drop of rain here in Welsh Wales... and when I say odd drop, I'm really talking blooming bucket-loads!

I commented to Gardengirl about my pond overflowing due to the vast amount of rainfall. Now my pond holds around 1500 gallons (around 7000 litres), which is quite a lot if you have to empty it with a teaspoon...

When the pond if full, there is normally a couple of inches clearance between the water level and slabs at the edge. After a week's hot sunshine, the water level had dropped a little and I was thinking I'd have to top it up unless it rained soon... and then of course it rained! It rained and it rained and it rained... then it rained some more... and then it stopped.

These were taken about an hour after the rain stopped.

You can see from the trails of beached Duck Weed how much water there had been in the pond.
The water level dropped back during the afternoon and early evening, until the rain started again. It is back to the level of the slabs again this morning with the overnight rain... and we have a severe weather warning in operation this p.m. in Wales...

Oh well... looks like the fish will be knocking on the patio doors for their tea again this evening then!
