Wet tidings

Water was much in evidence this weekend and for the start of the week!  On Saturday morning we wandered along the River Asker enjoying the golden colours of the trees alongside the river. In the evening under a heavy deluge of rain, we walked through steams of water flowing along the road, to see The Simon and Garfunkle Story. It was very good, the singers looked and sounded like the original artists, and between the songs they sung they told us the artists story. We felt as if we had been transported back into the 1970's, we didn't escape from water here either listening to Bridge over Troubled water!


I was first introduced to Simon and Garfunkle when we had a new music teacher at school, she was younger and recently divorced, struggling to bring up her new children alone. (it was rare in those days.) The songs we had previously been singing in music lessons were old fashioned and dull. She obtained new music books for us with songs from the Beatles, and she would also play us songs from her favourite LP's. One day she invited a few of us to lunch, and the sound of Simon and Garfunkle blasted through the air as we played in a Kent Hop Field, so their music always transports me back there. Did any of your music teachers influence your choice of music?


A friend came to lunch on Sunday and to walk off the roast dinner we walked along Cogden beach, it doesn't look like it but the height of the waves was about 8 foot high!


More heavy rain over night caused flooding. Donkey Lane,  probably an old smuggling path, was awash with water. Tavi loves water so he couldn't believe his luck to find lanes and roads full of it today! Luckily the waves had decreased in size today.



I have been looking for ages for a stool to sit and enjoy the view of the sea and this weekend I found it. It fits in with our coastal theme, although it too features lots of water!



It didn't take someone long to find how comfortable it was either! Hopefully it will be the one and only time that he gets to use it! I hope you haven't suffered too much rain this week.
Until next time.
