This morning we deliberately drove into the rainy parts. We headed for Stratford upon Avon. There were sections of the motorway where visibility was low due to spray, but we didn't encounter any standing water on the way.
In Stratford we saw evidence of the recent flooding--some of the shops by the river/canals were closed (and looking freshly cleaned out inside). It pelted down around the end of lunch time, so we stayed in the restaurant for a coffee and chatted with a German couple. The weather cleared as the afternoon progressed. We took a tourist bus trip around the town. There was one spot with a few centimetres of water on the road and footpath.
Here's what the footpath and nature strip looked like:
In the evening after dinner we walked around some gardens near Cox's Yard. By then the sky was clear. Will was happy.
The prince was mulling it over. (He'd taken notes from St Cuthbert--never go anywhere without a spare head.)
And Lady M was still trying to get clean after the flood.
BTW: Sigga's just posted a photo of Nikita helping us to plan our travels.
