Some rain and the cup that cheers

I never thought I'd ever say it, being on the western side of Britain where all those Atlantic winds laden with rain usually wring themselves out right overhead, but lately we've been a bit short of the wet stuff. Not any more, it arrived yesterday and recharged the rivers which are now fairly gurgling by. It has refreshed the grass and washed the leaves clean! I know there's a weird name for the smell after the rain. I cannot recall what that word is right now but there's a lot of it about...and it's terrific! You can almost hear the plants sucking up the water and giving out a collective "ahh!" as if they've just had a cup of the most refreshing tea in the world! Hmm that's not a bad plan...think I may just go and join them!
