Summers Here.......(but I wish it wasn't)

The sun has been shining on and off all week here in Cornwall, but it has also brought the usual influx of tourists, who unfortunately don't understand that the sun here is much stronger than elsewhere in the country so there are a lot of very red and grumpy people about.

It also brings problems on the roads with the town coming almost to a standstill with traffic and the local lanes full of vehicles that cant quite get used to reversing and avoiding the hedges and stone walls!

Yesterday was a day to forget - promptly! It started off sunny and bright but sort of degenerated into "one of those days". First I dropped a complete tub of coleslaw on the carpet, then I got caught in the rain and got soaked through, then I had an awkward customer who wanted to know where to buy some pornography, ( I mean, come on as if I would know that....) and to top it all someone hit my car in the narrow lane going home. It was definitely an evening for a beer or two!

Lets hope today will be better............
