Oh, climate, you cruel mistress...


I never gave you an update on our Long Awaited Much Anticipated Chesworth Family Reunion Barbecue, did I? That’s because it didn’t happen. We’d all got a bit carried away, rushing to get to see each other again, without thoroughly checking what we were up to. So it turned out that Hannah was teaching an online class for her students Wednesday afternoon and couldn’t have got to ours til 7ish, and Sophie had an early shift Thursday morning so she would have had to have headed home about 8. Hardly worth all the effort for less than an hour together, so we postponed. Disappointing, but it will teach us to check our calendars properly in future, and after 3 months without a get-together, another week apart didn’t seem all that bad of an idea. We then pencilled in this coming weekend, but the forecast at the moment is shocking.  Chance of high winds again Saturday, chance of lightning on Sunday! So we may have to hold off AGAIN.
We had glorious weather throughout lockdown. As soon as the PM announced a lifting of restrictions, the weather turned wet and unpleasant. What message are we being sent here????
