With remarkable regularity, the beginning of November brings us rain. This year was no exception, we had a day of very heavy & incessant rain, with the accompanying rivers on both sides of the Club carrying lots of sand, earth, & stones before them. An immense amount of work was as usual needed to restore the claycourts to a playable condition; but after such a downpour, some of the hardcourts also, were badly affected. My first photo shows a fairy-like view of courts 6 & 7; note the rows of sand washed in from the opposing side, & the strange reflections from the remaining water. Hardly recognisable as tennis courts!
I include also a photo of a tennis ball that acquired a good coating of mud during the deluge. Even a golf ball appeared near the courts, washed down from 'La Bastide'.......
We were lucky to have been able to replay on all the courts so soon after all this.
