Rain, Rain, Go Away....

The rain was torrential on Friday, and it's been continuing on and off ever since.
I spoke to Phil the Fruit on Saturday, and he said it just seems to be us! It was dry in Merthyr, and Ross, and Aberystwyth - and even Dorstone - but it was chucking it down here.
The river is starting to rise. I've been watching the swans' nest - they're okay so far, but if it carries on they might be in trouble.
The May Fair in the car park were supposed to be open for three days, but when I passed by on Saturday night, they were already packing up, and they've moved on to the next venue today.

They say it might clear up by Wednesday - which will come as a relief to Peter Florence. The Festival starts on Thursday. (It was mentioned on Radio 2 the other night - Claudia Winkelmann called Hay "a cute little market town").

I'd be up for moving a few rocks and raising the height of the swans nest after she leaves this year...looks like its a permanant nesting site for her.

It's true - they've been nesting there for years.
