We have actual rain.
As in, lots of it, chucking it down, pouring, a deluge...
We have not had any significant or even measurable rainfall since what feels like forever.
The grass all around has been dead, crispy brown for months.
The trees have shed their leaves in an effort to cope under extreme stress, under what is known as 'False Autumn' (yes I watched the news this morning!)
This rain feels healing.
The DCs were singing Rihanna's 'Umbrella' in the car!
(I know, I know, I'll be back on here in a few weeks complaining how now it's started it won't stop 😄 but for now, I feel joyous!)
