Galileo

Any Saturday in August will be busy.
Unless the forecast is for thunderstorms.
When I woke this morning the thunder and lightning looked, frankly, unlikely.
I had a few conversations with early visitors about the forecasters and their craft but on this occasion they proved to be right.
When the first of three storms struck we had a influx of very wet and unprepared people - no umbrellas and, in some cases, no coats.
They stayed a while until it dried up and then it was lunchtime and the same thing happened.
By late afternoon most people were chancing their cream teas against the wasps (yes they've arrived) and the final rain arrived just before closing time.
