Looks like your November was miles away from ours. All that water, my goodness! I'm glad you are feeling better. We were sick quite a lot as well.

We live on the side of a slope the water drains off the fields above us and eventually finds its way into the field on the other side of the road to the house. It is channelled through a pipe between the terraces where I live but the pipe gets full and the water comes down the neighbours garden, the drainpipe stops it flooding the backs of their house and ours :)sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-60303089029723106732015-11-30T21:41:31.356+00:002015-11-30T21:41:31.356+00:00Yeah we enjoyed the bits when we were inside but i...Yeah we enjoyed the bits when we were inside but it seemed to go on for so long that we had to go out, that bit was hard work.

I was also sick earlier in the fall. I never used to get sick as much as I do now, it's really a drag. It looks so wet there, I hope it dries out soon so you can take some more good walks. I enjoyed these photos very much. Take care and have a good week.Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-23329875138972630112015-11-29T16:17:02.303+00:002015-11-29T16:17:02.303+00:00I haven't been feeling very inspired to take p...I haven't been feeling very inspired to take pictures either.
