Rain stops play! And not just for underwater cricket pitches...
Our next doggy day out is to the Rhodesian Ridgeback Welfare Trust summer barbeque day... which is to be held on Sunday - dare I say the weather forecast is NOT for rain! Proceeds are to help finance the re-homing of Ridgebacks who are in need of rescue... a fun day for both owners and dogs alike. An agility type course is set up for the dogs to try out and compete at, and there are other races and games for our dogs. The main 'game' for owners is 'stop that dog pinching the barbeque'!
With all the appalling weather we are having in the UK, many outdoor events have had to be cancelled due to safety aspects. In all it's history The Royal [Agricultural] Show, which is held just outside Kenilworth in Warwickshire, has never had to be cancelled before... but this time the final day had to be cancelled and tractors were put to good use before that pulling cars out of the car parks.
The TV pictures from the car parks were horrific, even though we have a 4 x 4 we would not have attempted it because of the bottlenecks in the car parks and other vehicles being stuck in front of you! The parking is in a low area, with a river flowing through, which doesn't help matters. Just mud, mud, and more mud!
Let's hope that the weather improves, and the clear up and drying out of great swathes of our country is effected with much greater speed than is normal!
