Yikes, that doesn't look fun.
It wasn't so bad Gordon, from inside the house. Even if I (or rather, the rain) did find a new leak at one of the windows.
Quite a downpour, there! As long as it didn't flood anything much more than what we see in the photo. Well, I always tell myself, the trees, the bushes, the flowers and the grass will all be happy.....
Quite right Connie. We had a very dry April-May and needed the rain. Just not all at once!
June has also been spotty out here in the Pacific NW at best. Is that a rubber shake roof?
No. Those are genuine slates. This is the Lake District after all. They are just more uniform than most. Mine are also slate but follow the more traditional application of small at the peak and increasing in size as you descend the slope of the roof.
They told me that was a sunny day when I visited England.
They didn't lie! That bit would have followed a couple of hours later.
Very nice. Looked almost too perfect for slate.
I should have explained that a lot of slate used here, throughout the UK, is produced in the Lake District. We also have the famed green slate. Wales is another big producer of quality slate but I don't want to over-excite any Welshmen on here because we'll only end up talking about rugby.
Look what rain does to you!
I discovered Newcastle Brown Ale while in the Lake District back in the 70's ... epic.
Looks like what it's been like here for the last four days. We've had rain every day since Sunday totaling over four inches. Was sunny for a little while this morning, but it's starting to rain again now. And temperatures in the low 50's F all day every day - unheard of this late in June.

I grew up on it. Or maybe it stunted my growth. I can't remember.
Looks tropical, the rain that is!
It felt it too. Should have had some of that brown ale to help me through.
Yikes, Ron! Please send as much of that as possible my way: thus far in 2020, we've had 2.71"
May and June saw us get almost double our usual rain.Yikes, Ron! Please send as much of that as possible my way: thus far in 2020, we've had 2.71"

Ouch! We had 2.3 inches yesterday alone.
But you have your summer thunderstorm season coming up (aka "monsoon").
