Even though there are intimations of spring in the air it’s still very, very wet out in the back garden. So wet that one of our smaller trees fell over the other day – not very windy, but the roots just couldn’t hold onto the sodden ground any more. The same too with the spinning clothes line – it’s pole does appear to be slowly sinking into the ground under the weight of wet washing over the past few weeks, which has never happened before.

Also, I see the cricket stumps have been set up outside for backyard cricket, but I think my children are dreaming that it’ll be dry enough to run around out there in the next week.

Looking forward to summer and a little less rain (not no rain, just not everyday).
