At last rain 😊… it started around 1pm and continued for an hour and a half … heavy rain with thunder rumbling somewhere in the distance. Not much of it escaped as it ran from the roofs into the gutters and started to fill the rain water store. That was not the end of the rain it started again around 4pm. Staff were happy saying the shelter would not fail, we could start planting, which is a relief for me and a very welcome break from the intense heat of the sun. I have been informed the rain may continue for 3-5 days.
It will be a busy week planting and teaching but hopefully the worry of crops, animals or humans having limited water is behind us, at least for the moment.
