Rain on Kinsale Day

We're here at Ayrfield, where [livejournal.com profile] montuos grew up, and where her mother also grew up (and still lives). Her brother and his wife are also here (with their dog Winston), as are [livejournal.com profile] killernurd, [livejournal.com profile] asaia, Tony's cousin Rhett and his mother. And the wireless access here works with my laptop! Woo!

This morning and lunchtime we went to the village of Kinsale, only a couple of miles away, where today was held the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the chartering of the town by the Virginia General Assembly. We then repaired back to Ayrfield for a while... just in time, as it turned out. The forecast had said "today: 40 per cent chance of light showers." They didn't say anything about "this afternoon: 100 percent alternating light drizzle and vertical torrential downpour". Who invited Rob McKenna to Kinsale Day? If it clears up, there are supposed to be fireworks this evening. I suspect we're doomed to disappointment.

Sorry to hear it rained, glad you weren't caught out in it. Fortunately we were close to the car and the enormous golf umbrella therein when it started raining at the SCA event.

*hugs*
