At least we don't have a dog to walk, but a frustrated cat that wants to do what's necessary outside and wants us to stop the rain is nearly as bad.Pollygarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519711639714303756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-41202304134453186452014-08-08T18:55:04.445+02:002014-08-08T18:55:04.445+02:00Just cuddle up in the living room, do some cooking...Just cuddle up in the living room, do some cooking and enjoy a spicey ...

Normally, we get about two inches a month.

Not 50 yards down the path from our back gate, the heavy rain started falling again.

We were in Tours this a.m. and it was raining. Toward noon, we drove back thru Amboise, where it was still raining. As we approached Montrichard, the sun poked thru the clouds. Now, nearly 4 hours later, it's dry and breezy. Perfect conditions. We'll see.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-70222143861064828572014-08-08T15:02:40.822+02:002014-08-08T15:02:40.822+02:00We have friends on a boat trip down the Seine.
