Purple Rain

“You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain.”

Prince’s lyrics seem quite topical as the paid up Tory faithful cast their votes to choose their new leader and our PM.

We walked in the gently percolating rain this morning. The low clouds clung to the Cotswold escarpment like a comfort blanket for the parched earth.

This leaf, unedited and unfiltered caught my eye. It really seemed purple to me!
