Last Saturday, I had my first wet picnic concert at Kenwood. It rained so heavily that I couldn’t believe that the concert was not cancelled. The organizer wouldn’t tell us whether they were cancelling or not until 5:30 at the point of entry.
Whilst I was waiting at the Café with a cup of tea, some people started to appear with their huge picnic kits and umbrellas, and I actually spotted some ladies in “PVC trousers” (I don’t mean raincoat, but a thin layer of PVC trousers over their ordinary ones). I was still in denial that the picnic was not going to happen…but it did! I have been this country for 8 years. Still how the Brits sometimes behave is a wonder to me! The sandwiches were a bit soggy though!
I bought a pair of Hunter wellies the following week. I suppose that I am now a step closer to the heart of Britain. But God forbids me to ever wear these PVC trousers. If that happens, somebody please slap my wrist because I would be getting far too close to whatever that Britishness means.
As to Diana Krall, she is soft and sweet like the summer breeze. Good humour and beautiful voice!
