It was lovely and sunny yesterday morning so I decided to go for another walk in the park. It was a big mistake! I forgot to take an umbrella and had not been there very long when the heavens opened.
Luckily, there was no lightning, so I sheltered under a tree by the lake. It was very pretty with a view of azaleas, irises and all sorts of greenery.

Also, in the distance, was a Mute swan and her cygnets. There is a lot of green algae in the water at the moment, which does not look very attractive. I suppose it must provide extra food for the waterbirds.

While I was still sheltering, a group of Mallards swam across the centre of the lake. Well, it was good weather for ducks!

I had to take shelter for quite a while. In the end, I got fed up and gave up standing under the tree. Needless to say, I got very wet while walking to the underground station. I had decided to take a tube train home rather than walk - I wonder why?
