Thoughts on Rain and Floods
With all the appalling weather we are having in the UK, many outdoor events have had to be cancelled due to safety aspects. In all it's history The Royal [Agricultural] Show, which is held just outside Kenilworth in Warwickshire, has never had to be cancelled before... but this time the final day had to be cancelled.
The TV pictures from the car parks were horrific, even though we have a 4 x 4 we would not have attempted it because of the bottlenecks in the car parks and other vehicles being stuck in front of you! The parking is in a low area, with a river flowing through, which doesn't help matters. Just mud, mud, and more mud!
Our next doggy day out is to the Rhodesian Ridgeback Welfare Trust summer barbeque day... which is to be held on Sunday - dare I say the weather forecast is NOT for rain! Proceeds are to help finance the re-homing of Ridgebacks who are in need of rescue... a fun day for both owners and dogs alike.
Let's hope that the weather improves, and the clear up and drying out of great swathes of our country is effected with much greater speed than is normal!
