I can't tell you how delighted I was to hear the deep rumbling of thunder in the distance this afternoon. That rumbling that announces the arrival of rain. 
I stopped work and just listened to the rain hitting the scorched earth. 
I then inhaled that wonderful smell that accompanies the rain after a long heatwave - apparently it's called petrichor - it should be called bliss after the oppressive heat of the last few weeks! 

So now I'm fully stranded in the Garden room, time to put the laptop down knowing I’m fully protected under the canopy and with the Bifold doors open.. there’s nothing better than fully immersing yourself in  the garden just listening to the rain and the thunder roaring...

Did you know that the heady and earthy smell that occurs just before the rain is called Petrichor it derives from the Greek Petra - meaning stone - and ichor - which refers to the golden fluid which runs through the veins of the immortals in Greek mythology.....a wee bit of trivia for you there.

Enjoy…
