The morning weather forecast suggested continuous rain by 11am, so Michael arranged a short excursion through Buckfast, confident that rain would be falling within minutes. Well eleven o'clock came and went and there was still no sign of rain, so we extended the route a little by taking the track through the woods near the cricket pitch, getting back to Crofters by about 11.30. The rain didn't come until nearly 1pm, but perhaps it was better to be sure of staying dry than to risk a total soaking!
