Started off a nice day, forecast said sunshine and clouds all day and rain returning Monday, so possibly a last drive before Christmas was on the cards. Family day out - well three of us and Reggie anyway.
Today : Cloudy, Heavy Rain, Cloudy
Conditions : VERY Mild for December - but unexpectedly wet!
Temp : 12°
Journey : Farnborough
Distance : 24 miles
All started to plan until around 1.30, when it started to rain a bit. It died off again so didnt think too much of it, but by the time we had visited the shops, had a coffee and got to the park to walk the dog, then heavens opened on us mid-walk. First visit to Queen Elizabeth Park in Farnborough - so new picture in a generic woods setting. We got back to the car slightly muddy, very wet and me wondering if i had made a mistake bringing Amy out after all.
Windscreen wipers (smearers) on, heater (window warmer) on, extra air vent open and quarter lights open too!!. Ah the mod cons of the 50's!! They kept the windscreen clear enough inside an out to make a safe journey home!
During which the weather cleared, the sun came out and we gave the dog the rest of his walk at Ambarrow Court.
Amy just needed a light rub down when we got home and she's now back undercover, no worse for the expercience! Very pleasureable and quite fun in the end. I will need to clean the mud out of her interior on he next outing, but messy inside but better that than being wrapped up in cotton wool and not driven.
