Grey Pennine Skies

Summer in the Pennines can be a bit hit and miss to say the least. Whilst grey leaden skies can have a certain attraction the heavy rain, or light showers or even light mizzle that they bring, can be challenging.  Neither the garden nor the two cats particularly enjoy the damp and lack of sunshine hours. I am sure the number of proper summer days is diminishing, year after year.

 However, after a downpour if the sun immediately comes out then a whole additional sparkle can be seen in the vegetation. Quite delightful!
