It Never Rains But it Pours!

A stalwart group of us gathered on the Duver at St Helens yesterday to participate in the annual Buddhist picnic when the various Buddhist groups from across the island meet for a relaxed late summer get together and alfresco meal. This year was a milestone as it was the 20th year that we had held the picnic.

It poured down................. all day.

So we went back to Matt's and had the "picnic" in his conservatory where we could fantasise we were communing with nature by looking out at the garden.

While at the same time feeling quite Tropical in the conservatory.

Not to mention that the tea was better than anything stewed in a thermos.

And to match up with the Tibetan prayer flags we had our guest Tibetan dog. Dogs are always

especially welcome at the Buddhist picnic.
