Civic Sunday in Ruthin was marked by a service at St Peter’s church, followed by a garden party at Nantclwyd y Dre. The weather was showery, but it bucked up and by the time I left for the drive to London, it was a perfect high summer’s day.
I stopped at the traffic lights on the crossroads in Llandegla. Depressingly, the Crown Inn was draped with a banner which read: “Have you booked for Christmas?”
The festive season arrives earlier every year, but, unless anyone can tell me otherwise, 12 July must be the all-time record.
