Well, it had to change some time! We woke to RAIN and lots of it. Decided there was no reason to surface too early and we put off our shop at a brand new Morrisons until late morning hoping it might ease. It didn't and Morrisons didn't have oatcakes either. They are one of our favourite lunches! Boo Hoo! Maybe we have to get even further north before we enter oatcake country.
Leamington Spa in the rain is not the most inspiring town. It does have a certain elegance and some beautiful flowers. However, the Pump House that houses the museum, Library, Tourist Information and various exhibitions was a great find and they served excellent tea and teacakes - just perfect when you are damp and a bit downcast!
The rain prevented us from promenading in the Jephson Gardens, maybe next time, and after all the glorious weather we have enjoyed we shouldn't complain, but it was a shame. Jenny did partake of the waters via a small drinking fountain outside the Pump House. Urgh!!!!!
We have managed to hop on to an internet signal where we are moored under dripping trees so no beer tonight and we don't have to get wet again.
Telly signal is better today so we will enjoy watching the final of Celebrity Masterchef (I hope Ade wins) and we are definitely hoping to get a good TV signal tomorrow night because Strictly kicks off! Hooray! Sad aren't we?
