Rain, rain, rain

I'm beginning to think God has decided the Lakes should be filled in double quick time. Ever since the hosepipe ban began it seems to have rained. What is more, it's not just light showers. It is torrential downpours, even thunderstorms, often accompanied by gale force winds. On Wednesday I had a quick tidy in the herb garden. I cut down the tall fennel stalks that had been blown down over the wall into our neighbours' garden, but I see today yet more has been blown over. In the back the luxuriant foliage of the potatoes is splayed all over, making it very difficult to get to the actual bags for when we want to pick which should be any day now. The wheelie bins are drifting across the concrete ground, nearly falling over the step into the lake that has re-appeared, blocking the way to the greenhouse & the compost bin. And the forecast is for yet more rain.
