More weather... in Richmond


Somedays it's so wet it takes some strong spirits to embrace the outdoors, but with Tina by our side we did it! Encased in waterproofing for most, and the P'ter-principle of less clothes, less wet for the rest, we crossed the Tredegar Bridge for some pottering in lime-green leafiness. It felt as if we were in the jungle, beside a wild river and it was bliss, until we got too cold.

We refuelled at Buzz n Ned's smokery, this time with a half rack of ribs for us and every carb variable for P - fries, potato salad plus mac n cheese n bread. You could spot those who'd gone for the full rack, so to speak. Then off for some calories-shifting shopping - dashing between covered walkways and flooded tarmac - with the odd bargain in between. More storms to come...
