"The next day the rain poured down in torrents again, and when Mary looked out of her window the moor was almost hidden by gray mist and cloud. There could be no going out to-day."
--Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
Well, unlike Mary Lennox, we did go out, and what an adventure we had in Kensington Gardens.
We climbed on a beached pirate ship at the Princess Diana Memorial Playground...
explored beautiful Kensington Palace and the gardens--which brighten up beautifully against the gray sky...
and waded through buckets and boatfuls of water in one form or another. I really enjoyed playing with the ISO settings on my camera to try and capture the motion of the water in the fountains and the rain. In London this summer you'd never have any fun if you stayed indoors when it rained, so we're out and about, with piping hot tea to come home to at the end of the day.
