Day 174 Friday 22nd June: What a day today. A perfect day for "Sunshine" -  I think not.
The prompt made me think of our holidays in Wales when the children were young. I was bringing up the children on my own and found taking holidays difficult especially as I had no car so we went away with friends from church for a year or two and it usually rained. We would still go round and about and the rain was called "Liquid Sunshine"

So here are my photos of todays  Liquid "Sunshine"

The kitchen window view

The view over the park

The Council dug the ditch a couple of years ago
 to stop water draining from the park into the bungalow gardens.
I bet today the bungalows are pleased that ditch was dug.
Just behind our house the large puddle is a depression in the ground that fills up with water when it rains. The council have said they will make into a proper pond sometime
 On the other side of the path which has also become a little stream.
I'm not surprised no one is walking down the park.

Stop Press
The ditch at 7.30pm tonight.
I think the liquid sunshine is going to get into those gardens this evening. 

Today the electrician came and fitted plugs in the kitchen alcove - the finale is getting nearer.
 Also I went to Tarleton to do some scrapbooking at Stampers Gallery. I made two more layouts of the two grandchildren over in Cornhill on Tweed, Christopher and Alistair. It is Alistairs  2nd birthday today and we are going up for few days tomorrow morning. We are really looking forward to going as we haven't seen them since the beginning of December.

  6. I love the phrase liquid sunshine- it's one my grandad would probably have adopted if he'd ever have admitted that it rained in Southend. They only ever have sea mist there!!!!!!!
