But occasionally in summer a tropical front will drift down from, er, the tropics, and we get a big dump that the soil just can't absorb quickly. The football field used to be swamp and being in a curve of the river, has been an ongoing drainage problem since it was created. Not being mad about ball games of any description, I wouldn't mind if it reverted back to swamp, as long as I could still have my daily walk along the stop-bank (levee)... In fact I think I would be much better!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12453125929159161583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519638191408360845.post-20467761662657037352009-03-09T11:04:00.000+13:002009-03-09T11:04:00.000+13:00How sweet of you to rescue the worms!
