One of the 'Easter Bonnets' Easter Monday 21st April and Play for the Easter Eggs. The day started off really beautiful - sunny, warm, everyone turned up with something to share and wearing a hat of some sort. We had a lovely time, and were all looking forward to prize giving and tea.
At ten to three (actually ten minutes earlier than the predicted 'possible rain') the heavens opened and it POURED! Everybody made a dash for their cars. I grabbed the basket of tea things and headed to the Pavilion and got thoroughly drenched in the process. I was going to come back to round everybody up for tea in the Pavilion, but by the time I got back to the car park drowned rat didn't even come close to describing what I looked like! So we just decided to call it a day and go home. Oh well, they say Petanque is a metaphor for life anything can happen! And it did. So no one got the eggs, we will play for them another time!
