A rainy day

 Valentines day, which we dont celebrate, and we drove to Birtinya Islmand for parkr7n.It had rained quite heavily overnight and we were hop8ng that it would clear. No rain when we left and we had allowed an hour to get there but I guess at that hour of the morning and being a Saturday, our trip only took 40 minutes.

Warren took off for the start and a chat with other runners. I had found a cache, the only one on the island so I set off in the opposite durection.

Middle of summer and I wished I had taken a jacket.

Ginger flowers around the water.

Across the bridge was the island. Parkrun went around the whole of the island and a little more to get the 5kms. The water was grey and chopping from the wind.

This statue was on the rise leading down the the pkayground where I needed to be.
It started to sprinkle as I started to walk back, hoping that it wouldnt get too heavy as I was at least a kilometre away.

I was slightly wet when I returned and the rain got heavier and rain has continyed all weekend, much to Lucy's disgust. She did get a walk each afternoon but she was ready to go walking this morning but couldnt go until this afternoon.
