Rain, rain, please go away!

Oh my goodness the rain has been Biblical these last few weeks. I've been drenched on most of my runs and even decided not to do an ultra event I'd been looking to do for ages! Actually that turned out to be a good plan as people were complaining about the state ot the route which took them across sodden ploughed fields and they even had to get soaked feet trying to cross a river using stepping stones that were underwater! So I'm now trying to catch up on tidying up the garden. Our land is on heavy clay so I don't dig it in the Autumn, just tidy up the plants and bushes and leave lots of places for insects to make their nests.I alway save the stems of woody plants that have open stems which are perfect for creating an insect habitat.
