I was recently blogging about the indian summer we were enjoying in NZ. Sorry to tell you that this has now broken into a monsoon season.
Since the beginning of May we've had 79.4 mm of rain in Wellington. To those not used to metric that's just over 3 inches.
It's been torrential rain battering down through the night and keeping me awake. It seems that there are no half measures in New Zealand when it comes to weather - no April showers here, it's gales and flood proportion precipitation.
I've been fretting about our house floor which was laid so beautifully but now will have been pounded by the rain. Let's hope that the roof goes on soon and starts to give it some protection. Am also worried that my piles of topsoil have experienced slips and ended up at the bottom of the garden. Will have to wait to the weekend to see, fingers crossed it doesn't rain again tonight.
About Me
- Domestic Executive
- I ran away from the UK to find a new life in New Zealand. The dream was to build a house in the country and run a business working from home. Two years after our arrival we're realising that dream - the house is built and business is underway. Just need to get rid of the gorse and thistles, create the kitchen garden, build the hen house .... the list goes on! Oh, did I mention we've got two basset hounds which was also part of the plan to live thr rural life.
