In the end we ran out of “things to do in the rain.” We stopped checking the forecast too because we had no hope of change. We bonded, made new friends and learnt new games but after a while a stupor set in.

 I am thankful that my family has grown up so that we were no longer, at least, struggling to cope with cooped up kids and soggy clothes.

 In the rare bright moments we poured out of the house, never a full day without rain but half days sometimes; and we made the most of them.  And they were all the more special.

 So in this blog about leadership, my summer  discovery is that leaders need sun.
