Anyone for ice cream?

I was determined not to have a garden blip today. So I cycled back from the college the long way round (a 2 mile diversion!) and got absolutely soaked.

This was the scene by the Thames at Abbey Meadow in Abingdon. This ice cream kiosk is only open 3 months a year; today's takings won't even cover the assistant's wages. The car park was puddle-ridden and deserted. Even the swans looked fed up and wet.

None of these pics are very good. My excuse being that I am simply trying to show how wet and miserable it is here in the UK at the moment. Only look if you want to feel even more miserable!
