Rain still seems like something of a novelty — we really haven’t had enough of it to make up for the dry summer. But while the forecast suggested light rain all day, in fact we had just a few drops first thing and it was after 2pm before proper rain arrived. It meant that for Macc’s early walk, Beeston Castle looked very atmospheric.
One of the things I’ve noticed while walking Macc round the field each morning is that the castle off in the distance looks different every day. We haven’t really done much apart from take Macc out and potter on the boat. After. Few quite busy days, we needed a do-nothing type. Now Macc can easily jump onto the sofa, he quite often gets up there to have a nap — but for some reason seems to put himself in some very odd positions, often with his head up or his face squashed into a cushion. Or sometimes both.
