Dreich

After many days/weeks of wonderful weather we are experiencing rain- the garden will be delighted and the water butts will fill....but.... a group of us had planned to go to a Country Village Fete today with all the fun of these small fairs - dog agility, boules, dog shows, stalls etc etc.  and due to the rain falling/wind blowing it was cancelled. Ugh - both for the organisers and those of us who wished to go and spend a day out in sunshine!  We hear it will take place on the 20th now, so let's hope for a dry day.
Back up plan was to go to Exmoor Zoo where we visited the few animals that came out of their warm beds.  The red panda was one....Not many others did, so we sat and listened to the Education half hour in the dry, had lunch in the dry, checked out several other bits in the dry (extra) and then called it a day!
