Optimistic

I had to deliver some stuff to Wrexham this morning and decided to pop along to Erddig for a cheery Christmas garland blip. The drizzle had turned to steady rain by the time I got there and the light was very flat. I walked round to the front of the house, looking for inspiration, when I spotted these deck-chairs, dripping wet.
Really? Was anyone expecting to sit there to enjoy their tea-break and the view on a wet Welsh Wednesday? 
I know it's Friday, but the alliteration works better. 

The garlands and wreaths were lovely and I noticed that the apple trees in the orchard were full of mistletoe. I'd never noticed it before.
