Go Away

Rain is making working life tricky.
Yesterday, as we were starting to clear up after a morning party (45 people, sandwiches, tea, scones, cake) celebrating Christine’s Licensing Service in the church, the heavens opened.
It took lots of people by surprise, including us. The forecast had predicted rain in the late afternoon not at midday.
This meant that we were completely full in minutes.
A group of cyclists huddled round a small table, two Spanish families squeezed around a table for four.
There were people everywhere.
Until the rain stopped.
The sun emerged and the few who risked the weather in the afternoon sat outside.
Then at 4pm there was another storm. A proper deluge.
The conservatory flooded (fortunately no one was in there) and we were loaning our umbrellas to those who couldn’t wait for the rain to pass.
This week the forecast is dodgy. Lots of rain. All week.
How am I going to dry all the aprons and tea towels?
