REM rain equals maintenance

No surprise to me this morning as yet more heavy showers arrive and once more the weather forecast off the mark so I guess this 'jet stream' influenced wet period defeats the experts predictions. However Mike decided the extensive array of power tools could do with some basic maintenance and a good clean in the relatively dry workshop at Sherborne. So we waited out the rain and given thunder was forecast for the afternoon postponed a decision on venturing outside.

Spent a damp lunch time walking round the Pleasure grounds and 'soaking up' the variety of poems currently on display.

Good news for the afternoon was the improvement in the weather and so we set off to finish clearing  the rear Lodge Park drystone boundary wall,  over half a mile of it!. Good test for the strimmers with metal blades we had serviced in the morning. Some heavyweight strimming and clearing was needed to clear thick shrubs. The sun decided to make an appearance mid afternoon which was a welcome sight albeit providing an overheating challenge for us. Not a problem for Maddie who enjoyed a good romp around the woods during our refuelling of the strimmers and a much needed drinks break.
