I'll be fed up if we get cold and wet every time, no matter how much we try to enjoy ourselves.
Boiler/ water heater/ electric shower not working ?
Better get NT to fix it !
I really feel sorry for people organising events. Two years ago, we happened upon the Heskin Steam Rally while we were out, went along, had a great impromptu day out. Decided we'd definitely go again last year.
It had rained for a week already, and it rained the day we went. The ground was too wet for them to go ahead with the various vehicle parades, and most of the stall holders had retreated under plastic sheets or given up. We still enjoyed looking at the parked vehicles, and had a burger and a cuppa or two, and made the best of it, but I expect a lot of people wouldn't bother.
It's on next weekend, and we intend to go, I just hope it doesn't get rained on again. It only takes a couple of bad years for an event to falter and fail. While the CTC York Rally suffered from other problems leading to the cancellation, the lousy weather last year can't have helped.
On a personal note, NT and I are thinking of a wedding date about this time next year. Our chosen reception venue will work best if it's dry and fine, so that people can spill out into the garden. It would be nice not to have to wear a fleece and waterproof coat over our outfits!
