Well the forecast was for rain, and that is exactly what we got in bucket loads for the most of the day. It did clear early evening, but it was far too wet underfoot.
And of course it rained because it's St Swithin's Day and as the legend goes - if it rains, it will rain for another 40 days. Great!!!
So as per norm...............
