Description
Just as I was leaving work this evening, I saw this helicopter landing in the park opposite my office building. Not an everyday occurrence. :-)
It seems that Reading was visited by Princess Anne this afternoon. She was opening a new Red Cross shop in the town and the helicopter was here to pick her up.
The weather was turning bad and the light was not as good as I'd have wished for good photos but, I had a go anyway.
Sadly, when the Princess arrived, it was pouring with rain though it only lasted long enough for her to board and I lost the chance to get a picture of her. :-(
Strangely, the day started cold but bright with lovely pale blue skies. Rain set in for the evening and, as I write this, it is snowing quite heavily.
Still, them's the breaks. :-)
Thanks for stopping by for a look.
