Arne in the rain

[puddleshark]

The schools have broken up for summer, and I wouldn't normally go to the RSPB reserve at Arne at this time of year. Since it began to feature on the BBC Springwatch programme it has become very popular with families ...

But it has been raining all day, and everyone knows British children melt in the rain. I had the whole reserve to myself. Just me, the curlews calling by the harbour's edge, the rain pattering on the chestnut leaves and shining on the rowan berries.

Good stuff, I'd love to go there! Thanks for posting

You're welcome!

I've been trying to make the most of this lovely cold rainy July, since it looks like we might be getting a heatwave next week.

Gorgeous, I want to be there so bad. It has been so smokey here from all the fires, bleck.

I rather like a traditional wet British summer. But I mustn't be selfish. It's tourist season, and the visitors need some decent weather for their holidays.

I hope the fires can be brought under control, and that you get some relief from the smoke soon.

You mustn't be selfish, hee hee!


Thanks! The smoke is still pretty bad but the fires closest to us have been put out, whew.
