Typical British Bank Holiday

We are hoping the weather will hold out for the weekend as we are going camping with the Walkers.  Our meteorologist friend does a forecast which we don't like but he won't change it.

Friday and Saturday weather is ok if a bit cool.  Manage to put up massive tent and cook and eat outside in layers.  Also go to the beach and amuse ourselves around the place.  Kids manage to wake each other up in the night and Freddie keeps escaping from his room to stay up with us - is quite funny really.

Sunday it rains ALL day.  Great camping weather.  Take kids to factory village and out and about in the pelting rain, miserable.  Freddie likes splashing around in his galoshes but we don't!

Monday wake up v early and guess what? Its still raining.  We decide to all go home esp as Luce isnt feel great either.  Pack up the dripping tent in the rain and everything else.  Back at Dave's parents by 10am much to their surprise.  Have a nice hot bath.  Campers are mad - if it is raining that is.
