If you try really hard you can just about convince yourself that these people are having fun.
Yesterday was Regatta Day in Woodbridge and it's fair to say that the event's a whole lot more fun when it's not raining.
It was nevertheless a good event. It's just that with the constant drizzle things took a new form. The tea shops were all doing brisk business; the fairground stalls less so. There was no need at all for the greasy pole. There were no piggy baps.
I can't tell you whether Father Raphael's time had come. I don't even know whether vicar rowing has become an annual event. A warm, dry home beckoned so we didn't stay long.
