Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 "The next time it begins to rain... lie down on your belly, nestle your chin into the grass, and get a frog's-eye view of how raindrops fall... The sight of hundreds of blades of grass bowing down and popping back up like piano keys strikes me as one of the merriest sights in the world." Malcolm Margolin Mmmm, I can see the beautiful poetic thought....but the reality of a wet (probably pooy:vom: ) belly ....and a flock of chooks coming over to inspect the prostate mum in the grass...with the assistance of 3 labradors too....not seeming that appealing somehow! And anywhere outside the privacy of my garden & I'd be carted off to the loony bin The neighbours already think I'm barking, this would just confirm it Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better setting a little camera and watch it on the screen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 omg - even better - go swimming in a lake. Hampstead Ponds in a rainstorm - the smell, the sound of each splash, the frog/duck eye view. Oh, it's my idea of heaven! I love it. Even more when there's a storm, but you need to make sure you're away from the lifeguards or else they call you in for Elf and Safety and you have to wait for 20 mins after a thunderclap before you can go in again.

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I actually might consider doing that now that I have a lovely new turf lawn to lie down on . (May lie on a plastic sack though .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I actually might consider doing that now that I have a lovely new turf lawn to lie down on . (May lie on a plastic sack though .) Take a sleeping bag, or even a tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
