We were thinking of digging out a pond for the ducks but no need . Mother Earth has seen fit to supply one without the digging.

Earthquakes have some quite serious drainage implications. Great fun charging through all the puddles in the car.

Re: Wain !
It's funny, I obviously grew up here with the noise and I like it!! When I first moved to the UK I missed the sound of rain on the roof. Funny what you get use to.

Re: Wain !
I don't think I will ever get used to the wind here in Wellington. got a tree through my bedroom window in the UK 1987 storm and now wind makes me very nervous. Mind you have got used to the day to day winds so must be able to dampen the nerves down a bit.
