Rain and sun

Poor Doug just popped out to move Bluebell and Lismore off the drive (where they have been doing a good job mowing) in to one of the fields and the heavens openned. It doesn't show in the picture at all but there were sheets of water coming down the valley. 

You can see from the lushness of the nettles that we have been having plenty of warm wet weather.

The solar part of the uber heating has been doing us well for showers  in the new shower, but we haven't had sun, except in short spells for some days

So we might need to burn the wood gasification boiler.
