little april showers

This afternoon the biggest darkest cloud slowly moved over the skies above us looking a little bit like the alien spaceship in Independence Day.

I even put down my cup of tea {never happens} and stared out of the window in an end-of-the-world disaster movie type of way....

the washing on the line {that had been hanging there for a week} almost seemed to sigh here we go again...

the cats began to regret scratching at the back door to go out a few minutes earlier.

and, suddenly remembering that I’d sent the little lady off to nursery without her wellies,

and with barely a flicker of the new boys sleepy baby blonde lashes...

the april showers lashed down, there was even hail and a bit of thunder... 

and I grabbed my camera and headed into the waterlogged garden.

Ooh, I do love a great British downpour, don’t you?

Happy wellie wearing weekend. x
