a late sunflower

I've been saving this photo for a bad-weather day and that day has definitely come. The sunflower was in my neighbour Bert's garden this autumn and I spied it when I took him a print of a shot I'd taken of him when I met him in the village.
So one good turn................
My yesterday's little duck has quietly snoozed (squeezed) his way on to PP so thanks everybody!!!!

A welcome burst of sunshine! Can you imagine the scene here, 4 dogs, mud, mud, mud! All departed today, cleaned house up, collapsed - and now miss them all!

Do you have any trouble of the storm, rain and water disasters as I`ve seen on T.V. in the South of England ?
