Down here in South Carolina, we're in a semi-tropical environment, where rain can blow in from the sea, drenching one part of the island whilst sun shines on another, a mile away. This morning we awoke to the pinging of raindrops on the fireplace flue, a sure sign to grab a book, pat the snoring terrier and bury back under the covers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00529559263104583300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-12640890756621143422010-01-30T17:26:23.349+01:002010-01-30T17:26:23.349+01:00For once, I am not envious of you living in France...For once, I am not envious of you living in France.

It seemed as though the rain was shooting up from the ground right into my face. I was laughing so hard I couldn't run properly and therefore, like you, was soaked to the skin in no time. Of course, Edward would never think of venturing out in the rain. The prospect of wet paws is a sufficient deterrent for him.Pamela Terry and Edwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746603636884819522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-16789244784907188712010-01-30T11:58:40.339+01:002010-01-30T11:58:40.339+01:00so you didn't stay for the artist drawing? no...so you didn't stay for the artist drawing? not that is hilarious!!<br />xokkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12022641022304772371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554264610305778874.post-72164170872001854632010-01-30T11:52:21.588+01:002010-01-30T11:52:21.588+01:00I don't know that I've ever experienced ra...I don't know that I've ever experienced rain quite like that! I know this may sound silly, but do you have thunder and lightening there?

We ...Hey Mongoose...sorry you've been soaked!<br /> <br />We are soaking ourselves with yesterday's blogpost yet again! I read it to my husband as a bedtime story and can happily say that it certainly did NOT put him to sleep!<br /> <br />As far as I'm concerned that is your best blogpost yet and I am revelling in it! I read it aloud to everyone in the vicinity and the response is always the same...absolute mirth!<br /><br />Thanks again for stirring up the senses(of humour)! Now, go and get yourself dry before you catch the death of cold!<br />C IN SOUTH AFRICAMaxmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352085013260757004noreply@blogger.com
