Wishful thinking – today I went armed with socks, wellies and a rain jacket on my walk with Peps at Runnymede. I haven’t worn socks for six months so nearly tipped over in the parking lot trying to put them on. The wellies protected my feet from some slightly dewy grass and got very hot – would have been cooler to wear my sandels as Runnymede had no mud in sight despite the promised rain. The raincoat went round my waist and kept my middle nice and dry from the ten raindrops that actually fell. Guess it’s not as autumnal as I thought it was going to be!
