A summers tale !

And today I will be mainly wondering where the summer weather went !

Having spent Saturday running around after No.1 son to get him back from Uni for the summer, the Old Dragon and I thought it would be nice to spend some time out on Jessica on Sunday afternoon.  Although the forecast wasn’t great the day started nice, bright and warm.  Splendid I hear you say and funnily enough so did we.  Arrangements were made with Little Bro to meet at H Café just outside of Oxford and we were set to go.  As the weather is want to do the sky darkened as we were about to leave giving us cause for concern, but it soon passed.  Nay, nothing so obvious, not for this summers weather.  It waited for us to actually get 3 miles down the road before it rained.  Then, just as we were considering turning around, it stopped and the skies brightened again, so on we go.  All goes well until, sat at a table outside H Café complete with mug of tea with Little Bro, the day decides to tease us once again.  Discretion getting the better part of valour we all decided that 45 minutes of riding through torrential rain wasn’t really what we wanted from the day and set off for home hoping to get there quickly and avoid a soaking…..then it brightened up again…then it rained again…and stopped…and started again.  What’s going on !

Can we have a little more consistency with the weather please.  Being a bit of a lightweight it would be greatly appreciated if I could be sure if I was going to have a fun, dry ride or stay at home and watch the box.  It’s not much to ask…is it ?

    You should have come to Bakewell, Matlock Bath and Chatsworth with us. Nice and dry, just a few too many cars on the roads.
