>Rain means blessing?

>We had quite the convoluted journey to get here on Wednesday and finally settled into our hotel yesterday.

Quite apart from finding our hotel wouldn’t let us stay it involved a delayed flight out of Heathrow, our baggage taking an age to come off the plane, missing the first helicopter and so having to wait for the second. And we were in the minibus waiting to board it when the heavens opened…

It took an hour and half for that rain to clear, but it reminded me of a proverb my Dad brought back from Uganda…

Rain means blessing

I think we’ll have to wait and see whether he was right 🙂
