When it rains here, it really rains.
The croft feels like a giant sponge, the grass squelchy underfoot as it tries its best to absorb the huge quantity of water being thrown at it from the sky.
Yes, that’s horizontal rain.
When it’s like this, no waterproofs that I’ve ever come across will keep you dry for long. It’s best to retreat indoors for a cup of tea and wait it out.
We have pools of rainwater everywhere. The burn, which normally trickles gently through the hills at the back of the croft, has become a foaming torrent of water tumbling its way to the sea.
This is an older video from September, with the burn in medium flow. Now it’s about twice as full, I just haven’t been brave enough to make my way down there for a more recent picture.
Wish I could send you some, Green Goddess 🌿.

November has been particularly rainy and if you ask any crofter they’ll swear there hasn’t been anything like it in living memory, but this is the standard answer to any weather pattern query! The good news is that I can see breaks in the clouds, so it’s squalls rather than a monsoon today.

Yay! You’re right, we got out onto the croft today between showers. Bright blasts of blue sky between the clouds..

Thank you; watching all that water flowing is so soothing to the soul. Keep posting about your green; it reminds me that life is green elsewhere and that the green will return here eventually. We have had 16ml of rain in the last three months, so the tanks are very low, the Earth is dusty and the animals are thirsty… but life will return.
