Can’t resist to share this image with you – received as a birthday present yesterday. Natasha was inspired by a recent camping trip and my story ‘Goats are Goats,’ which I posted in three instalments here.
The drawing not only hilariously fits the rainy atmosphere of my story, which happened in the Bavarian Alps, it is also strikingly emblematic for dwellers on the Green Isle. Irrespective of whether such dweller were born here, the character formed by the climate in England, Wales, Ireland and Scotland ripples into the psyche of everyone who can endure what it takes to live on a Green Isle – THE RAIN.
However, it’s the English, in the good old sense, who talk most about the weather while stoically putting a brave face to it, after all, rain is good for the garden.

Thought you would, Sophie, being a lover of the imagination and a master illustrator yourself.

*blushes* Very kind of you, m’lady!
Must say, I think there’s a gap in the market – people could loan out goats as an environmentally friendly way of keeping the grass down! Get rid of all those noisy lawnmowers! 🙂

I’m very sorry, Misty. The image was done by my daughter-in-law specifically for a short story I wrote, which I intent to publish.
