A once yearly catch up at the Hay races


We are just back from the Hay Races at the weekend where I had an absolutely lovely day.

When I woke up on Sunday, safely at home after an earlier than usual night, the memories were all great. It was a thoroughly lovely day, I thought, first in pleasure but that quickly changed to horror when I realised I felt so good because we had headed sensibly home at 9 o'çlock on what is the town's biggest night of the year.

Exactly when did my idea of a brilliant day out become one that I would later describe as lovely.
I had no complaints about the day – lovely really was the right word for the day.

The weather was a balmy 30 plus degrees, compared with the usual filthy 40s.
