Rosie, thank you - just one advantage to all this rainy weather was a very small puddle in the drive that I used to take this through. I also used a sepia tone on the shot as the pebbledash wall in the porch was a rather uninspiring colour in the dark!
@tishpics We've actually had sun and blue sky unexpectedly this afternoon. Ray was the leader of a 6 mile ramble this morning but nobody else wanted to go. Never mind, he had a nice warm swim with me instead!
