We had a great two hour walk yesterday, seeing lots of deer, and birds such as a hobby, stonechat, and linnets as well. Then, just as we arrived back at Abbots Well for the picnic, the rain started. Within seconds it was bucketing down, and we were all running for cover. Just as well we had put Plan B into operation, and erected the shelter - we decided to put it up a few hundred yards away, in our garden, so our six picnic guests could enjoy Christine's home made food just a few feet from the kitchen. It was more enjoyable than huddling in a wet car park, and also meant that I could leave the shelter up overnight, and take it down in the dry this afternoon. Everybody seemed to love the idea, so it will be our regular Saturday stand-by.
