Wow, well that was hard work, had to clear so much earth initially I thought I had hit oil at one point!!
The final job was to clear all the foliage around my deck as I have been told it’s the easiset way to make your deck look bigger!. , and it’s a sight to behold, even got adventurous and built a pergola above it, phew, there was no stopping me, well or so I thought!!!.......
There came a point where something inside me, that little voice that know’s it all, no, not my wife!!, one that says you better save some of that wood, have you seen…......THOSE CLOUDS!!!!!!!
Had we really gone back to biblical times, was this a calling, first Moses, then Evan Almighty!!, now DIY enthusiast Josh Connor….!!! Was the rest of the wood ordered really left over to build an Ark, were those clouds so thick that they could release a deluge of water that would last for 40 days and 40 nights, or had Josh simply had one too many glasses of lager that afternoon, blaming it on the need for refreshment and rehydration…...
Yes, I know you will clearly be very surprised, but yes it was the latter. I know, I can see the shock in your faces!! Certainly they were the meanest clouds I had ever seen, and meterolgically speaking ( not easy to say after those lagers!!) they were charging Goliaths and this David knew which way to turn!!, take cover…...
Blimey, did we ever see rainfall like that, I did’nt know whether ( I know bad choice of word!!) to run for it or swim for it….. Many, many, many hours later it finally stopped, only to be followed by even more days of rain, don’t you just love the Great British Summer!! As always at the beginning of the year heavily marketed as another scorcher!!
So maybe the Ark was’nt such a bad idea!!
