Well, at the last minute I decided to go to Wells and join the walk!! Thank goodness for our umbrellas talk about 'cats and dogs' the rain was torrential. One of the group was a teacher and so many children recognised her as we walked around. We were just in front of a cart 'The Wild West' - so couldn't hear our music when they got too close. Picked up lots of money for the charity collection.Walked up Strawberry Way afterwards with members from Rodney Stoke & Draycott WI and we were able to see some of the carts. (they're called 'carts' because originally they were 'farm carts' pulled by tractors). Gave up about 10.00pm with carts still coming - well worth coming to take part - but those umbrellas were certainly 'star of the day'. Would love to order one for our WI events - have to work on that idea! Different group of people this evening from: Coxley, Croscombe, Rodney Stoke & Draycott, Westonzoyland, Binegar and W. Buckland WIs. Carole, our Chair arrived late so missed our driver 'Phil' who took this photo. Not much twirling of brollies tonight hands just too wet!! Still kept warm thanks to waterproof gear BUT wet shoes after walk to the car!!
