The rain is having a day off today, after its vengeful return yesterday. This is Cirencester Parish Church enjoying the warm sunshine. The talk in town was all about the floods with many people coming in from the East to buy water as their local pumping stations were either flooded or had no electricity.
You also get a better standard of eavesdropping in Cirencester.
"Saffron was baptised in the bath after their son went to a Catholic school in France. She had to be, you know, as her first husband wouldn't have allowed anything like that. Do you remember the buzz bombs? ...."
It got surreal after that.
According to the Swindon Advertiser,
I've noticed a trend. When there is heavy rain, the same places flood. Must tell someone."On this day in 2006, Extreme weather caused chaos in Swindon as roads were blocked and businesses were closed. The rain caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to BSS House on the Cheney Manor Industrial Estate. Parts of the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet Centre were forced to close along with shops on the Orbital Retail park. ..."
Sunday was a beautiful day with half the country walking along the shore or out enjoying the solent.
I presume that the other half had their noses buried in the latest Harold Potter.

We've found where the sunshine has been hiding. Down here in Warsash
As you can see it is a beautiful day overlooking Plymouth breakwater - car and better half fixed and W & M came over for coffee, overlooking the sound and lunch at The Mussell Inn. The evening weather and view is just as lovely as it was this morning.
Well, you have to watch something when the car has broken down and you are waiting to see the doctor (minor but irritating stuff), so here we are stuck in Plympton, with no car, on a most beautiful day so why not watch the ladies bowls tournament - so sedate. We might not be able to wait to let you know who won, but there again .....
PS. The Sir Joshua Reynolds serves Otter Ale as well. What a bonus!
Arrived at this lovely spot after about 3 1/2 hours, overlooking Plymouth Sound, which you could see if it wasn't for the mist - good old Plymouth. Off to The Mussel Inn for birthday dins soon.
This is the view from our house back in the UK. Almost a Virginia sky but not quite. Today is Alison's birthday so we have been opening a few presents and there were some lovely surprises.
Off to Plymouth shortly for a family Golden Wedding celebration.
It seems that we need warning about warnings now. From todays Telegraph article about 'Rogue petrol'.
"A number of motorists reported that their engine's warning light had come on without warning."
(Despite all that we got back to Newport News to be greeted by Dick who then ran us home. With milk in the fridge already, a quick cup of tea and so to bed. it's good to be back. What good friends they are)
Ready to go!
Enjoying our tour of the Gatwick coffee bars and the game of spot the US Airways Philadelphia aircraft. We think that we have spotted it now, which is a hopeful sign. If we are right, the next post will be from a different continent!
