Surviving Tropical Storm Fay

It's Saturday and we had planned ages ago to go up to Lake Martin today along with Kate & Anthony and Kate & Ray. So, even though Tropical Storm Fay was about to arrive we still went up there. It was a typically British weather day today to start with, it rained all day long. But hey, we're at the Lake, we're going to get wet in the water anyway.
Our lovely picnic lunch outside, luckily we were able to have it undercover.

Thankfully we were with friends and it was still a great day out, even if we were all a little damp. We were the only ones not staying over so we left about 5pm. Got home before Fay made a more sustained attack and we scooped up the floods from the sun room and drained some water off the pool. I am relaxing at present with a (2nd) glass of wine before draining the pool off some more before bed as it would seem Fay plans to stick around for a few days - don't you just hate unwanted guests?

On a lighter note, we got Tom's trainers back when we went to gymnastics on Wednesday so that was a bit of good news, I guess someone 'accidentally' took them by mistake.
