There’s a lot of it around, you know. Mud, I mean. Oodles of the stuff.
We started something when we cancelled our Summer-concert-thingy. Since then, Lowther show’s been cancelled along with the Royal Lancashire and a couple of other smaller ones - and as I write this, the fate of the Gosforth Show hangs in the balance.
It reminds me of that local joke:-
What to pack for your trip to the north-west of England: Raincoat, wellies, souwester and lifebelt … just in case the weather takes a turn for the better.

But why does anyone schedule outdoor events in a climate such as that? Surely some of the shows etc. could be held indoors? There’s got to be a few big buildings in the area that could be used. Or is it just a tradition that can’t be broken to chance these things outside?
