Wet paint...

Will this rain ever stop?

It was all going so well. Between the three of us, Gaynor, Holly and myself, over a few long mornings and some even longer hours in the early evening, have managed to paint the front of the cottage, more than three quarters of the side and Holly has painted most of the front of the wall. That only leaves – well an awful lot more wall to paint at the back and up above.

If only this rain would stop.

We’ve had a lot of rain this summer. The weather men got it wrong again promising a ‘Barbecue Summer’ but not delivering. I think we’ve had three or four barbecues all season; the weather hasn’t been good enough - it’s even raining, the west wind blowing its cheeks out, as I write this.

Oh well, perhaps the rain will stop tomorrow and we’ll be able to get back to our painting – there really is a lot of wall left to cover.

  4. We can see mountains and fields, the sea is the other way across the fields about a mile - I'll take a picture when up on the roof later this week

    Meifod means halfway-house - sort of sums it up really.
