we have been doing some f the make it work rivers book we got from the library, and the first experiment is setting up a water cycle. So we set it up in the garden and although we got the water to condense, we didn’t get it to rain. I grumbled, and SB and I and BB all agreed we wished it would rain. Almost immediately it did – though unfortunately not in our experiment!
So I took the camera in – it was only spitting, and then went outside for the washing – by whcih time it wa a torrential rainstorm and they were all drenched. SB and BB wanting umbrellas and coats – duly provided! I then noticed 2 of our gutters are not doing the job properly – well one gutter and one downpipe. In trying to get the downpipe not to spray allowver the wall, I succeeded in increasing the amount of rain over me – in fact a waterspout,
So I have retired inside, girls are playing like loons outside. The sun is coming out, however, so had better go outside and spot rainbows. Chris is safely inside the greenhouse sorting out the staging.
