rain rain go away

come again... NEVER!

ugh. I know, I know. I should have been "prepared" for this weather. When most people think of London, certain images come to mind: Big Ben Parliament, double-decker buses, The Queen and usually the leader of the pack: rain. And boy have we had our share of rain. And wind. And more rain. I do think my gym comrade was accurate in his weather forecasting - summer graced us with her presence for two weeks, never to be seen again. Welcome back old man winter. *

Thankfully, we did have a short break in the torrential "showers" on Saturday for a few hours and we were able to walk to Regent's Park, where a large Green Fair was being held. At one of the organic children's clothing retailer tents, the saleswoman said how delighted she was to have summer back. Summer? Oh no - I looked down and took note of my attire - boots, jeans and a wool sweater.

So while the days are damp and dreary, we do have a little ray of sunshine who makes it all the more tolerable.
