April Showers & Pilgrimage
Tracks of the day - April Showers - The Snow Fairies.
Or for the traditionalists - April Showers - Al Jolson.
And lo it came to pass that while the rest of the world suffered drought, here in Bogsville there was nothing but rain.
The water butts are overflowing and I keep thinking that we ought to get a couple more to store the overflow. This is good rain by all accounts. It's not the sudden, torrential rain that just runs off and floods everything, it's the steady rain that gets down into the water table. I guess it's those "shoures sote" that Chaucer wrote about in his Prologue to The Canterbury Tales blog.
No there's nothing quite like April showers piercing 'the droghte of Marche to the rote' to focus the mind wonderfully on making a pilgrimage. I don't mean a down on your knees, crawl all the way to a saintly shrine pilgrimage but one to somewhere hot, with an endless blue sky, where I could sit under a palm tree listening to Robot Car Song by Ceiling.
If only...
