Sailing into the Light

The last couple of days we have had more rain, but luckily today the sun is shining and I have managed to cut the grass and also we have been shovelling some of the sand back behind our retaining wall that washed away after the deluge a couple of weeks ago. David has also been to the garden suppliers to buy half a cubic metre of soil to replace the soil we lost too.

I did get a bit of a soaking yesterday morning when the rain started unexpectedly but hopefully this group of rowers managed to get home before the rain clouds reached them.

Definitely a right place right time shot.
I did get a soaking earlier this day when rain fell suddenly, but I did manage to stay dry this time.

Yes Kathie you do see a cormorant sitting on one of the pilings well spotted.
