Springtime showers

VolDad is visiting. Although he's kinda, sorta visiting on business, his business doesn't start until today - so I took the day off yesterday and we went down to Wisley. London is full of sights botannical (most famously Kew Gardens), but Wisely is Royal Horticultural Society (RHS)Garden that's easier for me to get to by car rather than public transportation. Still a bit cold-y and my dad a bit jet lagged, it seemed like the easiest thing to do.

Yesterday morning was light and bright. But by the time we got to Wisley a storm front had moved in. But it was only a little storm front. It wasn't drenching. It was windy and cool and slightly damp making. We huddled in the garden cafe with hundreds of others - and the moment the sky began to lighten we left (without sampling the tasty but expensive RHS cake).

I managed to get a few pictures before the skies opened up again.

And it hasn't really stopped raining since. (Good thing they've lifted that hosepipe ban).
