Owing to the inclement weather yesterday afternoon Chris and I forwent our usual cycle ride and instead, took a nice walk… in the rain. I loved it but Chris was not so happy in his two waterproof jackets (they aren’t really waterproof – even when you wear one on top of the other), although he cheered up a bit when I sang him the Piña colada song (If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, If you’re not into yoga, if you have half a brain, If you like making love at midnight…).

We were walking down a country lane, which is becoming less and less like a country lane since two big developers started building housing estates. We passed the new Barratt site where building is well under way, but new to my eyes because I’ve been away; and as we rounded the corner we couldn’t help but notice the big red and white sign on the pavement… What can it mean?  I took some photographs to show you. I have deleted the one of Chris looking decidedly wet and grumpy. And just click on the YouTube frame below showing Rupert Holmes if you would like to be reminded of the Piña Colada song.
