It's going dark again now

That means there is a 99.9% chance it will go dark a few miles up the M1 here in Sheffield.

However, I have all my windows open and allowing the breeze to freshen up the place nicely.

Its fresh and blustery here  much better than that muggy heatwave spell.

Also, this is an old building - love how it rattles and whistles in the wind.

Yep, it's darker and I see rain drop appearing on the windows. Going to keep windows and french doors! open as long as possible.

We've just had a brilliant downpour. EC, I'm also loving the rain, it's cleared the muggy air AND it means I don't have to stand and water the garden plants and my new lawn.

been raining on and off all day here, but it's just got heavy in the past hour.  Have the windows open and no telly or music on.. just listening to it chucking it down.  I love it.

we had rain on Friday from 3 to well into the early hours of Saturday

on a plus side my new abode seems water tight   and outside drainage adequate   

many of the villages and main Town Roads in the vicinity were closed over the weekend because of the flash flooding 

Today it has been raining on and off since 9 but the wind is far worse than the rain today - we are surrounded by trees and it sounds quite eerie at times - I am hoping the wind dies down by dark 

Hope you'll be happy in your new home Mrs H 

thanks Ladies

I havnt accepted it as home yet - lots to do once the plans go through

It feels more like being on holiday - everything is strange but I do love my smaller garden and have spent the last month bringing it round and have acquired a nice tan - lots of eating out and generally a bit of a wind down and rest before the work starts - we have dug a new pond and finally got the koi here yesterday 

BT though   nothing for 3 weeks but did battle and have got a crap connection at the moment - hopefully that will be sorted by the end of Aug 

Hope it soon feels like home and you'll be really happy there, Mrs H! 

thanks Kaffs  have you moved yet ?

Good to have you back MrsH

Hope you are liking your new gaff home

Its blowing a gale here and dark as night but no more rain since early afternoon. Its flippin cold too

I echo what Moonie said, and hope it soon feels like home.

not yet - 29th of this month.    Getting excited now!
