Warm and Wet.

Another early morning for me today. It has been a cloudy but warm day with a few sudden heavy showers. I was most surprised to see big puddles when I walked across the playground at lunchtime. I was in the reception class for the day and we've had a really good day which included getting changed into PE kit (which can take a very long time with such young children) and then moving around various climbing and jumping activities in the hall. 

I was lucky to be driving home through a sunny spell though when I stopped and looked back towards town there were an awful lot of rain clouds looming.  

But when I turned and looked northwards from the same spot I could see what I call a painted sky. 

Once I got home I finally planted those hyacinth bulbs. The wet compost looked to be too wet for my liking so I bought more compost at Tesco's yesterday. When I scanned the compost bag's bar chart (I do like the scan and pack as you go option in Tesco's)  it was half price so I bought 2 bags. I used the wet compost to re-pot a couple of my acers at the same time.
