Rainbows and dark sunshine

Yesterday was the rainiest summer Saturday we have ever had in all the years we have been here.  It poured all day which meant that the trip to Apt market was cancelled and we had the heating on.  Discussing this with Mathilde, our cleaner, she remarked that there is an old provencal saying "never a Saturday goes by without a ray of sunshine", but I doubted it was going to be true for this particular Saturday. However, by 7.30 in the evening the cloud started to lift over the Rhone valley.


Then suddenly through the rain we had this dark dramatic sunshine and two successive rainbows, just beautiful.
