There are a few things we at mayamada learned over the weekend.

• Don’t trust British weather or weathermen.
• Touchscreen phones don’t work too well in a downpour.
• Good people will come through whatever the weather.

This past Saturday saw the first mayamada picnic this weekend, but it almost didn’t happen.  It started off well when we got to the park and unpacked everything in the middle of Hyde Park…and then came the rain!

After getting very wet, buying a few emergency umbrellas, a shower curtain and deck chairs for an improvised tent…we decided that we couldn’t wait out the rain and found nearby cover.

But the great thing is people still turned up, and once the rain cleared we went from this….

To this.

A really great turn out considering the early downpour.

Of course, we had mayamada cupcakes on show again…

…and things turned out well in the end – high five!

For all the planning you do beforehand for an event, it’s highly likely things will not go to, well, plan. Don’t let that fact put you off planning though. Just remember to stay flexible and positive so when things go a little off the rails you can still have a good time – and we did! A big thanks to everyone that came down to make it a super fun time 🙂
