We're singing in the rain! A family picnic in the rain!

When mum and dad mentioned that we were going for a picnic at Wrington - I wondered whether they would ring up and cancel as it was tipping down! As I drew nearer and nearer I seriously wondered what we would do. However it was going to be a lovely day with my parents and my sister Michelle, Simon and neice Elli and nephew Toby.
We parked up in a layby in the middle of nowehere (like gangsters) and put boots on and walked into the fields by a stream outside the village. Toby (2) and Elli (5) loved it and walked for miles - playing poo sticks at a nearby bridge and then walking onto an old disused railway. I was amazed they walked so far!
For lunch we drove up Wrington Hill and had it in the pouring rain in a field on a tarpallin. It was actually great fun and clearly Toby was enjoying it. The rain came down and we got soaking wet but pretended it wasn't there! We walked up the hill at Wrington and then down again to the cars and then had a hot chocolate and cake at the walled garden cafe just outside the village where we were greated by a friendly dog. Had a good look around the gardens created for the Will's family (who I used to work for at St Monica's many years ago!!).
In the evening called in on Vicky and had a Thai green curry which was a first and watched 'death sentence' which was a somewhat gory gangster film - although I did enjoy the car chases!
I've always fancied being a 'wise guy' mafia leader - so long as I don't have to kill anyone - and presuming one can keep the left wing politics!!
