Rain, rain go away..... enough already!!

 One of those weeks I can't wait for it to pass.
The amount of rain we have had is really freaky and there does not seem any end to it either.
WE live in the desert, we get a rain shower that might last and hour or 2 and then it stops.... maybe a week or so later it happens again... if we are really lucky this happens 5 or 6 times over about 4 to 7 weeks and that is our rain for the year.

This year we have had no sunshine and almost no dry days for nearly a month!!!
Our back paddock is elevated and hardly ever holds water... you could swim out there and the neighbour behind has about 6 inches across his fields.

That bowl with weeds is full of water, after sitting out over night, that amount of rain you would expect for the whole season or even year not just one night. Perhaps not the most technichal rain gauge but it tells a story.
So sick of the rain, personally
and worry, the damage to peoples homes and livelihood, 75% of our gang could not get into work today,
many have been sick in last few weeks. Ambient temperature is warm but if you get caught in the rain you freeze.... leads to a lot of fevers and chills.
Sick kids and women stay home.... washed out roads and everyone stays home.

Have been working really hard on our Creative Arts Safaris website
Why? I love to travel and am very happy to take a group along with me,
love what we can do through our travels interest and fair sales really boosts Developing world economy... maybe only a small way but they are good interactions for both sides.
The world is a beautiful place, full of good people.... interacting with them, telling the stories helps develop understanding and appreciation.

Love this sign I saw out in the middle of nowhere Gujarat.

Tourism unites!!

For years my blogging and social media presence has been enough to bring in a steady stream of guests and we still have our loyal followers but I notice interactions for FB, Instagram and the website are dropping like crazy and the notices I get to pay for ads increases.

I have tried to stay clear of ads, it ads to our costs and I have always wanted to spend our funds on the groups and people we visit not some big company's profits through ad revenue.

Please help us, share our posts around on any media, make an interaction... look us up on Google via a Google search and review our page, add photos of your trips with us...

Have a happy weekend, 

I pray for dry to happen :)
