Well, at least now I know who to thank for the "shower" I got this morning, the whole time I'm getting ready there is a light drizzle outside, that is until the moment I walk out the door, suddenly the heavens open up and a deluge starts raining down, I realise that waiting is probably futile so I rush to the car and the relative safety of the car port.
After placing my laptop into the boot, I resign myself to the fact that I still have not had the gate motor installed, which means have no option but to open the gate myself, in the pouring rain. At least the tree at the corner offers me some protection while I unlock the gate, but not much while I'm opening it.
Rather wet and miserable I rush to the car, I get in and back out of the gate, and as if the deluge already coming down was just a prelude to what is yet to come, the rain starts coming down in solid sheets thundering down on my cars roof. Realising I have no choice I take a deep breath, jump out of the car, and close the gate as fast as I can. Jumping back in the car I’m now soaking wet, and cold.
Sitting in the car for a few minutes I find something to dry myself of just enough to stop dripping, and as I shift into gear to drive off still soaking wet, cold and miserable... the rain stops.
Back on topic though, I’ve got an article somewhere about creating a corner in your garden to “house” Faeries, it’s always a good idea to make them their own little corner in the garden with the right kind of plants etc, and the you can leave some food out in this area for them from time to time, usually wine and cake.
