<p style="text-align: justify;">These plants, both spotted with rain were taken in <a href="http://www.abbeyhousegardens.co.uk/" target="_blank">Abbey House Gardens</a>, Malmesbury.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I always marvel at how vibrant garden colours are after a rain shower, especially when the sun shows it&#8217;s face too.  It is a stark contrast to how most people feel when it is actually raining.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I must admit I like to sit curled up with a warm drink and from the safety of my armchair watch the rain fall on my garden.  I also like to hear it on the windows at night when I am tucked up in bed.  Not to mention the occasional forest walk as the rain falls gently down, making a soft pattering noise through the trees.  Ah how wonderful of nature to treat us to such simple pleasures in life <img src='http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
