You Are My Sunshine

The theme for this year's Greenbelt was Rising Sun so it was a bit ironic that early on Sunday Morning (1:30 to be precise) the heavens opened and it begun to rain, which drove us late night Wherry drinkers to bed.

Fortunately we woke to find the rain had stopped and the sun was out, but the ground was soaked and very muddy. As you can imagine mud and fur do not really mix and we were all a bit worried about what we were going to do at the Sunday Communion. Luckily Wilbur was at hand with a large tarpaulin he had thought to bring along so we were able to keep ourselves mud free as we sat down for the service.


Bris went and organised our Communion pack which contained Bread, Wine, coloured ribbons, orders of service and other goodies. As we waited, more and more people arrived for the service: there were so many that we had to meet in two places at Main Stage where we were, and also in the Arena.

Then, with much fanfare, groups came in from the North, South, East and West, representing the four corners of the globe, and then the Service began. We were all very impressed by the preacher who came from Brazil and told us that she enjoys soaking up the sun, wearing her bikini on Copacabana beach. Guess what happened next ... the heavens opened and we all got wet.

However, our lusty singing of the Beatles number 'Here Comes the Sun' did the trick and drove the rain away.
