RAIN

The heat has gone and it is 21 degrees C. today which feels quite cold.  We had a lot of rain at the weekend and have a heavy rain watch from 6 p.m. tonight to midday tomorrow with another possible later in the week.

We were lucky here in Whangarei but along the coast north of us things were very bad with a couple of bridges washed away and lots of campers now being housed in Marae unless they have headed home from their holidays early.

The top photo was from the New Zealand Herald and the bottom from the Council website.  Unfortunately, once again the heaviest rainfall is predicted in the same area.  

Meanwhile here the beans and tomatoes are flourishing with beans being given to family and neighbours and it is great not having to water the garden.
