It's still raining

Here I am back in my tent and it is still raining! It seems unending. It has rained all day. I am in awe of its relentlessness. Needless to say this affected our walk today and everybody got soaked despite their waterproofs. At one point I was walking along a hillside path which was overgrown with ferns and my boots, socks and trousers became completely soaked. I was all alone because I was walking in to meet a pupil with medication that one of their parents had brought for them. How glad I was to see the blue jacket of Carolyn and the polka dotted jacket of Shona on the slope below me! The three of us continued to walk in to meet the pupils and then continued to the Carbeth Inn with them. I have to admire the pupils' spirit in this awful weather. It is hard to believe that it still so hot and sunny in England. So here I am sitting in the doorway of my wee tent. The pupils are all still awake and we are all chatting. I am so looking forward to the comforts of home but for a wet camping weekend this has been quite enjoyable!
