1 Umbrella
I had it in my mind that there was an umbrella shop in Skipton with a lovely display of umbrellas in the window but as we drove past a few days ago I could not see it.... But I decided to use my own 'umbrella'. I follow Lucy on Attic24 and back in October 2018 I noticed a post which I sent to my friend; click here to see this post. A week or two later my friend had made an umbrella with her granddaughters. They had a lot of fun so that motivated me to make my own umbrella.
It's only tiny but is perfect for the mouse and its home that I added to complement
the umbrella. I agree it's not waterproof but it'll not be going outside!
2 Wet
So much choice for this word; I feel as if all of Lancashire is wet....
This autumn flowering plant is sagging under the
weight of the relentless rain...
Poor Schizostylis!
3 Puddles
I have a wet garden.... As a rule I always have to wear wellies!
4 Overflowing
I know the word is overflowing but for some years now this well near where I live had been
UNDERFLOWING...... It flows down the hill (to the left of this photo) and across
the road; when the temperature dips below freezing, the road is interesting!

5 Splash
Top left - water coming into the garden and flowing down a concrete
channel which I have named The Zambezi.
Top right - ready with my brush to sweep it clear of leaves etc.
Bottom left - looking back to where I've swept.
Bottom right - more Zambezi to sweep!

I know how to have a good time!
Own Choice
As I write this I realised I could have used this photo for Wet! Read on...
Towards the end of June this year, Beloved rang to say he'd found a wet sparrowhawk and did I want to come to our fields to see it? Of course I did. Beloved had seen the long grass moving and on closer examination he found the wet bird. He picked it up and put it down on the drive but it could only hop about. So he picked it up and phoned me.
Here is our feathered friend. I suggested he place it on the roof bars of his van and almost
at once it flew off. We came to the conclusion that it had dried out as I drove up
to the fields. We've assumed it is a sparrowhawk!
Well, it is now the end of the month and we've had some dry days.... but overall October was damp.
Thanks to Hawthorn once again for organising this.
