Following the driest spell in Cumbria for years, you think the weather could have stayed dry for the twenty minutes it took to process from the Town Hall to the Parish Church and back again for Mayor’s Sunday. Alas not – it started raining on the way there and positively bucketed it down on the way back. Cynics might argue that the Mayor and Councillors deserve what they get, but even they could spare a thought for the youth groups in their Sunday best uniforms – from Sea Cadets to Brownies.

So, it wasn’t a baptism by fire for the new councillors – more a baptism by total immersion. But it would be a brave person who suggested the whole thing is a waste of time anyway. Kendal is very proud of having had a Mayor for nearly 400 years. Judging by the reaction of the admittedly rather sparse audience along the route, our efforts were appreciated.
