Wot a weekend
It started well fine weather , managed to even clean the car. Our guests came to us for the w/e where we had a great meal & drinks with nice music as a background. A few drinks after dinner then off to bed somewhere after midnight. Sunday was the main event for us as we were off to a concert in Derby at Darley Park. The day started well, sun & a light breeze. I went for a walk in the morning to loosen up. We left for Derby around 13:00 just as things were getting cloudy. We got into Burton just as the rain started (Knew I should not have cleaned the car). We arrived in Derby & went to the Abbey public house for lunch. (Free parking, if you know where to go). Having had a good meal, we went for a walk to kill a couple of hours. We had to turn back to go to the car as the weather was getting too much for us, we needed to put on our other waterproofs. To cut a long story very short we set our chairs down for the forthcoming concert. Fully waterproofed & ready for whatever came at us. We decided to leave the camcorders behind as the outlook was not good. Good job we did, the heavens opened we GOT SOAKED despite the waterproofs. So there we sat in the rain getting very wet listening to music. We must have been MAD! Still, we enjoyed ourselves.
The fireworks were fantastic, set to music. Pity we left the cameras in the car, as we would have liked to have recorded the event. But, we still have our cameras undamaged , there is always another time
