A wet walk...

Sophie was working today so after dropping her off (and Mike as well, who had gone to see a friend in Moulton) we parked the car on the top of the hill between Walgrave and Holcot and walked home. It was a drizzly horrible morning and I hoped that the weather would clear up, but it didn't. It grew steadily worse as we walked and I was forced to don Keith's woolly hat to keep my head dry!

We arrived home like drowned rats and had hot showers before popping back to Moulton to give Mike his money that he'd forgotten and to get the newspaper.

The nasty weather carried on for most of the day so no chance to get outside and do anything in our wet garden. Mum and Dad popped around in the afternoon for a cup of tea and commiserated when they saw our washing machine in the middle of the kitchen floor. We'd done a load of washing and managed to get the second set of curtains washed before it went wrong again. I have a feeling I'll be calling on Mum and Dad to use their machine if ours isn't fixed on Monday!

By the evening the weather did clear up a little bit and there was a lovely sunset. We collected both children and drove back to Walgrave to order a take-away from the van. After taking the kids home we went back to the pub and had a very pleasant hour chatting with a man who used to help behind the bar. We hadn't seen him for ages so it was great to catch up with his news!

Here's a photo I took in Keith's car of the beautiful evening sky:
