Its quiet...too quiet

Went to Bolton Abbey in glorious sunshine, expected it to be heaving. Had a pleasant picnic and paddle in the strangely quiet grounds.

Set off walking to the Strid and discovered why it was so quiet. Huge thunderstorm, biblical rain and hail. Neither of us had coats, luckily we had the raincover for Imogens rucksack carrier. Absolutely drenched through, with only spare clothes for the one who was bone dry under her rain cover! Drove home through the flooding sat on towels.
