Beautiful Rain

At the end of my lovely holiday I have spent a relaxed day today (running, long breakfast, Headhunters at the cinema, French sandwich and macaroons then a slow walk home). I thought I might potter around the garden for a few hours but then the rain came. I felt quite disappointed and then looked out of the bedroom window. The view is along our neighbours' back garden. The day has been fairly lacklustre, overcast and grey but in the moment of soft rain suddenly the vividness and colour came back - vital grass, stained yellow paving and energy in the air. Lovely.
