Clouds over Cumbria

Did you see the the weekly weather forecast on Sunday? While most of the country looked clear and bright there was a constant grey patch over Cumbria. They were right. Since then it's been grey and damp - the only variation being sometimes it's raining and sometimes it's drizzling and if we're really lucky just misty or low cloud. We keep hearing how hot and sunny it is to the south of us - and even to the north.

Forty two years ago it was just as wet. And if remember correctly, rather cool. There were no summer dresses or wide brimmed hats. And certainly no fascinators. Just sensible suits (were they still called "costumes"?) and even more sensible shoes and hats. But this group at least brought some sunshine to the day. (I'm sorry about the hat in the corner - blame the photographer, whoever they were).
