We have been desperate for rain, but not without a measure of trepidation as our roof leaks like a sieve. Despite our very best efforts, it has been impossible to bring everything together in time to get the roof done before the rains. We were assured, beyond a SHADOW of doubt that whilst work was going on, even once the rain had started, the roof would be covered every night with lots of tarpaulins and not a DROP would get in.
So what to do? Go on with a leaking roof, or risk replacing it during the rains? We took the risk.
And it poured with rain.........outside........and then it poured with rain.........inside...........and then it poured with rain ..........IN BED! And that was the final straw. There are only so many bowls, buckets and saucepans a woman can keep in her house for a rainy day......or night!
