Bank holiday...how can you tell?

It's barely stopped raining all day today. A few boats went by this morning decked out with flags and balloons but looking rather bedraggled, and the steerers looking less than happy, with water dripping off their noses! Several hire boats rattled by, some at high  speed, determined to make the most of their time afloat, weather or no! We decided to stay where we are, so we've had a lazy day reading, cooking, playing the guitar and recorder, listening to the radio and playing games online. The wind is buffeting us about and it's tipping down, as we sit recovering from "toad in the hole", roast and mashed potatoes, carrots, peas , green beans and gravy, followed by a slice of Mike's home made chocolate cake. I hope tomorrow is better, my waistline can't take much more of this!
