Jackie and I decided to walk along the Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis. Just as we were about to set off on our walk, the heavens opened and the rain poured down. It was only then that I noticed we were next to a café advertising “Devon Cream Teas”.

Half an hour later, the sun was shining and we set off again walking. Five minutes later there was another downpour. This time the only shelter was an old-fashioned amusement arcade where we played the tuppeny machines with the moving shelves where Jackie won some dollies and shells and I won nothing.

Half an hour later we set off again and were soon striding purposefully with Lyne Regis at our backs. We suffered 2-3 more downpours with no shelter at all - but our enjoyment was as thorough as our soaking.
