BOILING WATERFALL

AFTER more than 24 hours of solid rain, the waterfall at Pooh Corner has grown from a modest trickle to a raging gusher. Today we recover from cabin fever and from eating too much (which is the only thing one can do when one is trapped by the rain here), and from coping with two leaks in the roof. Yesterday afternoon, as the rain started lifting, I put on Wellingtons and the Muji raincoat Debra gave me years ago and slid down to the waterfall to take some photographs.
