SEEING DOUBLE..

    World © Geoff Wilkinson - All rights reserved

If you are of a certain age, I'm not quite, just for the record,  you might remember Jane Morgans recording of 'The day the rain came', it reached number 1 in the UK charts in 1959. Originally it was a French song by Gilbert Becaud called "Le Jour ou la pluie viendra" with Morgan singing in English on one side and French on the other. I thought I'd put that in for the French followers of this blog and because I enjoy visiting France so much.

Anyway back to the picture, during all that heat last week we did have a torrential downpour of rain one night. This gigantic puddle appeared in Nightingale Lane almost opposite The Nightingale pub, I imagine it was due to a blocked drain, one thing about living in London the weather's rarely boring...

  4. Oh please send some thunderstorms over! :-) I need to try and photograph puddles more often, this one is so fab!

    Thanks. The problem is, I'm not a huge French music fan, lol, so while I would probably recognise Bécaud's voice, I don't think I know either of the songs!

    1. I have package up some thunderstorms for you, should arrive in a day or so. I have heard this song, rarely, on the radio but not for years, I don't know if it ever made the charts in France...
