April this year was an unusually dry month in the UK, though also very cold. The usual 'April showers' simply seem to have transferred themselves to May. I'd arranged an outing for a small group of fellow camera club members on Saturday to explore Milner Field and the bluebells in Hirst Woods. It was dry when I left home but, at the very moment we set off as a group, the heavens opened and we were drenched by torrential rain and hail! We only got as far as the rowing club where we took shelter under their (leaky) awning and then decided to abandon the attempt.
Sunday looked better, so I set off in sunshine again on a solo mission to capture the bluebells. Half an hour later it looked like this! Drenched again. Sigh...
One can almost feel the rain dropping from the leaves. Perhaps time to leave for California? They only have earthquakes...
