After over a year of restrictions, lockdowns and scary times, we finally had lunch at the pub. We sat down in bright sunshine in the garden. A few mouthfuls into our main course - the soft plop of spots of rain.
The staff quickly moved us to a table under a small 'marquee' from where we watched the rain steadily fall harder and harder. But the food was fine and nothing could really dampen our spirits.
But Ray got a bit chilly so he took a blanket from a stack of red ones ready for guests. Then, egged on by our friends, he started posing.
Too late, too late - my camera was ready on the table!
Sounds like a wonderful even if slightly damp outing. I think the mask peeping out of his pocket is however the perfect prop to highlight just why an outing like this is so special, nowadays.
That was nearly my title!
