When It Rains

Our country's monsoon is not over yet and forecasters say it will continue.
There were days when our human, eager looking forward to the walk, changed to walking gear with a packed haversack, stepped outside, and it started raining!
Outside, our human stood looking at the falling rain for at least half an hour hoping that it was just a passing shower. When it did not stop for over an hour, our human gave up and went inside like a 'tortoise retracting into its shell'!
The very next fine weather morning, the walk was different. It was slower and cautious.
The fallen tree trunk fell on the path and broke on impact.
Muddy slopes and rain-filled holes.

Sometimes the British weather may seem like a monsoon, but it pales beside those proper stormy seasons.
Hopefully your walks from here on in will be drier and safer. Happy new year to you all!

We are glad to hear your human was careful when she went back out. It can be treacherous!

It's not easy to face days and weeks of wet, dreary weather. I'm glad your person is careful during this season.

It doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun out there.

Be careful- the path sounds dangerous. XO
