I can hear the grass grow . . .

We have here more than our fair share of rain - torrential Correzian rain - then sun, then rain, then sun . . .

Today after a cool start, we have had glorious sunshine, a temperature of 25 plus, a bit close at times with a storm threatening, but now at 7.30, it's still warm with all the birds still singing and busy as ever.

With storms and heavy rain forecast for the next few days (though that might not come to anything hopefully),  I can now see and/or hear four different grass-cutters.  Ours is Harry pushing an old electric machine which we inherited with the house, Monsieur Gomes cutting the next door neighbour's flat garden with a ride-on mower, the young fella, Yann,  across the road pushing a huge petrol-driven, then out of sight, over the hedge Monsieur Lagarde on his ride-on.

So, bring on the rain, then we'll all be back here again next time the sun shines!
