Well, that’s a tad disappointing.
It has been a long hot summer. The kind of endless summer you remember as a kid, when the sun shines for days on end and it seems like it will last forever. You go to bed at night with…

I woke in the middle of the night to the sound of rain bouncing off the roof. Its deep rhythmic nature sent me peacefully back to sleep knowing I wouldn’t need to worry about the garden for a couple of…
