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
