Worst of the wet weather is the increase in mosquitoes; there are two on the brim of Strawberry's hat.
As soon as there's a clear spell we try and get out, but the water level in the lakes is much higher than usual. The jetty the girls swim from is partially immersed and not only did we have to do a lot of bailing from the boat, but we also had to wade out to get to it. Still the fishing's good and three fine perch have been caught and eaten.
So I won't complain, just hand me the mosquito repellent!

The lakewater is obviously about a foot higher than usual. Have you had an unusually wet summer?
Love Granny and Pa.
Like the look of that perch. If the others are as good, you'll all eat well.
Cheeky mossies. How dare they!
Lovely action photos. Our perches were smaller - sadly.
Mike + Ann, I don't think it's been this went wet since the summer of 2000 when I resorted to carrying Strawberry around with a plastic bag over her head.
Pat, they are beggars, but we have a secret weapon: a type of tennis racket with metal wiring and an electric current. One swipe with that and they are well and truly fried.
