Rain, Rain, Go Away....

It's been a day of grey skies, clouds and rain. In short we've had the kind of day that those from foreign lands think of as typical English weather but that we seldom really experience. If I'd written down the plan of where I intended to go, it would now be lying soggily in the gutter. So whadya do?
The garden of The Crossing House at Shepreth

That's right. Look back at photos taken in parks and gardens back in the summer. 
By the roadside in Meldreth

In a ditch - I can't remember where!

Botanic Gardens, Cambridge

Christ's Pieces - a public park in Cambridge

A church garden in Wisbech
Take care.

    A lovely colourful collection, it hasn't been to wet here (the rain only arrived an hour or two ago) but is has been so gloomy, with grey skies and plenty of wind. The joys of autumn :)

    My next post, coming up in a day or two, is one I think you might enjoy.

    Lovely bit of color on a dreary and rainy day here. Nice to look back on all the pretty flowers we took photos of. They will get us through the winter.

    Wonderful colours. I particularly admire the angle you've photographed those poppies from. Blazing sunshine in the north of England; though I may be lying...

    Oh, the joy of going back to photos - I find it so relaxing, even having a quick play around with a photo on my iPhone is a great stress reliever and cheerer-upper. And gardens too are soothing and uplifting. Perfect combination.

    What better thing to do on a damp grey day John than to look back through old pics. You've found some real treasures especially those wonderful crimson poppies by the roadside in Meldreth.

    You have a knack with flower photos, my man!

    Thanks for your visits during my Italian sojourn. After today's comment, I also googled the sculptor. You are right. He seemed to like bodies missing parts . . . I wonder what his thought process was. BTW, the sculptor died just a week before I visited Agrigento and took the photos.
