We decide to toodle along to the Pub. It's not the most promising day but not as bad as some we've had of late. A bit of blue to be seen. As we go along the promenade & look across the bay, we're struck by the filthy grey clouds & hope they're not coming our way. As we continue the sky gets worse. Not only is there the grey we'd seen before, but now there are further dirty brown clouds, almost visibly billowing out & extending across to our side of the bay. It is reminiscent of one of my jigsaws of an old steam engine at full steam, belching out sooty black brown smoke, something you don't see much these days. A few drops of rain fall. We get to the Pub & the Fox drops me at the door while he goes to park. I get in in the dry. The Fox soon arrives too. We barely have time to say hello to everyone, get some drinks & sit down when the sky lets loose. Soon the rain is pouring down. The rain is so torrential it bounces off the pavements & road. A quick flash of lightning & a roll of thunder follow. Thank goodness we made it inside before it all began. The party is slow to end as people linger, waiting for the rain to stop before making their way home.
