Rain, rain and more rain

Many times I comment that the reason we live in such a beautiful part of the world is because of all the rain we have.  Rain contributes to natural beauty in so many ways - swollen rivers, varieties of greenery, tumbling waterfalls, and the amount of wildlife which live in the area.  We have certainly had our fair share of rain over the last week and the forecast is for more.  Rick went out for a run this morning with his running buddies into the forest and came back soaking.  We were going to go out this afternoon and gather some pine cones but it is really pouring down now and getting dark already so we will go another day.  We have a Christmas present plan for our pine cones!
The children are watching a nature programme at the moment - there are so many good programmes on made these days and we really like the nature ones.
If the rain keeps up as heavy as it is I may not run this evening as my leg is quite sore today - not sure why but might be as well to rest it for a few days.


The above is a photo of Rick (in the middle) with some of the other running club members at the 10k he ran on Saturday when he managed to get his 10kPB.  Think this is before the run as they don't look sweaty enough for after.
