Out in the woods with the hounds this morning. The rain came in, so I found a convenient holly bush for cover (the only cover) with a big log conveniently situated under it, and made a brew on my £1 DIY bushbuddy.
Once the rain stopped, the clouds made some beautiful scenery.
The dogs were happy too.

You know what though, I love finding a secluded spot and just sitting under a tarp and listening to the rain patter against it, taking in the view, and a small fire on the go.
Ahh...I've been going a bit stir crazy with this weather. I don't care what it's doing tomorrow, I'm off for a stroll as well...

Hopefully we'll catch a break tomorrow. Or at least a decent gap so you can get a wander in.
Have a good one!

Envious - too busy today, as Humakt says the sound of rain when you're dry is lovely. Even on holiday in a caravan through a wet night
Campfires are best shared with friends.

Yes he can retrieve a decent size Ash in a couple of hours. Still needs to get the bow saw action down to an art though!

My mutt just looks at you as if your stupid lol. But then again nobody said Newfoundlands were energetic in any way shape or form.

Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.
