Afternoon Tea Cancelled

My neighbour usually sits in the garden with a book and a cuppa. It was a sunny afternoon and the wind had dropped until I went out for a walk, then the rain came pelting down. I got soaked again, so a short, wet walk then home to afternoon tea indoors, after changing out of my wet clothes. Before all this palaver we are going through, other residents would often meet up in the garden and bring their cups of tea with them. Now I hardly see a soul outside. I think some are now a bit nervous of leaving home. I only go out locally mainly because of age recommendations.
