The day dawned dully after a much cooler night. As I opened the blind on the skylight, I was greeted by a uniformly grey sky and, as we sat in bed reading and drinking tea, the first drops of rain fell. Over breakfast the thunder and lightening started and from then until late afternoon the sky was heavy, with light showers, occasional very heavy rain and no sign of the sun. The skies did start to clear and we had a red sunset but the temperature had only been a chilly 14 – 16°C all day.
Needless to say, most of the day was spent in the van reading and, in desperation, watching an old American film on one of the free satellite channels. Now that we are able to use the satellite TV again, being within the reception area for a 60cm dish, we can at least follow the Olympics and catch up on the news even if we can't get BBC or ITV.
