Thursday 18 August

Today the weather has been horrendous and more like an early winter's day rather than late summer. It rained all day but it was cold as well - the top temperature was just 12 degrees! Brrr! As a result, we were busy at work but at least we had extra staff in so we weren't rushed off our feet like we were last week!

I managed to escape at 4pm and went home and by now it had stopped raining but the skies were dark grey and lumpy. We all went off for a walk at 5pm, but this time we went somewhere different for a change, and drove to a local bridleway. There were huge puddles everywhere and all the vegetation was dripping wet but it was great to be out in the fresh air and looking at a different view. We walked to the end of the bridleway and then returned to the car just as the local church bells were chiming six o'clock and the heavens opened again!

Back home it was a quick game of cards and then a very hot and spicy chilli con carne for dinner which certainly warmed us all up!
