Start of the Rains



Every week I listen to bbc Radio 4's GTQ- Gardener's Question Time. My favorite part is when the show ends and just before they cut off the webcast, a female british voice quips in with the U.K. weather report. It is seemingly always terrible in Cumbria, foggy, cold and drizzly; it makes me think of teapots full of fragrant tea kept piping hot by a ridulously floral quilted tea cozy.
