I am more worried about mowing the lawn before rain showers.

Raincoats, headgear and umbrellas were created for rain but most would now rather chance it and get wet.

Cannot afford test matches, but county games at Lords or The Oval are fine. You can bring your own scoff and a bottle of wine or four cans of beer. Fifty over games best as there is a winner as opposed to the usual draw.

Unfortunately Middlesex are playing county games more at outstations, as are Surrey to a lesser extent.

Some while back I commented on here that Grenfell were selling some odds and ends on eBay. A few weeks ago I took the plunge on a Malvern raincoat listed for sale at a bargain price - possibly a discontinued line. When it turned up it proved to be a much lighter cloth than I was expecting, slightly shorter than I normally wear and I was initially a bit disappointed. But it was good quality and well made as one would expect of Grenfell, so I decided to keep it.
It has really come into its own during the wet and at times chilly weather we’ve had. It works well over a cotton sweater or a thin jacket.

A pac-a-mac type rain jacket from Muji also works well e those times where you are out all day and have to cart it around because the sun has come out in the afternoon. Function over style.
