Well, for a while it did, so here I am in standard festival-going attire of large oilskin coat with a warm cashmere cardi underneath and wellies. (Oilskin hat crammed in pocket, another necessary item of clothing for our June weather.)
In spite of the weather there was an excellent turn-out.
For a little while the sun shone
and brollies were discarded.
There wasn't much dressing to impress this year, just a few brave souls had made an effort and abandoned anoraks for a bit of festival style.
Most of us were ready to embrace the downpours.
There's a reason the countryside looks so green!
It was a bit slippy underfoot.
The true festival-going experience?
A good coating of mud!
This looks like so much fun. Love the children splashing in the mud.
ReplyDeleteI always think of the English/UK weather as wet so you all must be used to as I am with our hot hot summer (wildfires) with temps 100 to 120 every day.

As you know I always crave a bit of warmth and sunshine, but 100-120 and wildfires would be too much for me!
DeleteA bit on the muddy side, but at least you managed to catch a few hours of sunshine! Glad for the festival organisers and performing artists that there was still a good crowd.
ReplyDeleteJust a bit on the muddy side - didn't seem to worry anyone!
DeleteWe used to have lovely rain in June as well but with the global warming that President T-Rump says is fake, we have been having an early warm summer.
ReplyDeleteCrazy weather and even crazier politicians. Don't get me started.
DeleteYour garden is too beautiful, I feel you should be charging entrance fee.
