We have just had the wettest November ever recorded. And, just quietly, it pretty much rained all October and September as well. So. No dry season this year. The wet season hasn't started yet and they are predicting at least 6 cyclones this year off the coast.
The new garden copes pretty well with deluges of rain. The soil is sandy so it drains away reasonably quickly.
This is the other corner, I don't think I have posted photos of the new plants we added in August yet. They are growing VERY well! No shock there with all the rain and warm weather.
This is the fountain and the herbs, lemon and chillis. This area will be expanded after the worst of the summer.
The side bit, a lot of water settles here, plus we get some run off from the neigbours concrete area and water tank overflow.
This is the view out the back door. These plants are growing like mad, even the maidenhair fern. In the seed starter, there are 9 baby desert roses, grown from seed.
On the other side of the world, they are having some extreme weather too, the heaviest November snow in 30 years or so. We have received a few photos from the small island, far, far away. They are keeping warm snuggled up to roaring fires. This makes KISA extremely jealous.
It is only a few posts ago that I had a picture of us sitting out on this deck in short sleeves.It was -17 degrees in LLandrindod less than two weeks ago.
Phil's grave under all the snow. It is still a beautiful peaceful place. It will be very quiet there now as the snow mufles all the noise.
Don't you love the way the snowflakes look in a photo? It looks like fairyland.
LMS sent me some pictures from snowy Nottinghamshire. This is her car buried under the snow. No one went to work that day.
LMS went into the yard in her jim jams to....make a cup of tea????
Lord Mallory was not that impressed with the snow. He returned to the fireside where all self respecting English cats have spent the last fortnight.
