    I will only go to the Balloon Festival if it is good weather otherwise I'm going to sulk at home and make life hard for Himself and our friends.:)

    I already froze my little butt off last weekend helping out at TVP's Open day at Sulhampsted.I was wet and cold and miserabel when I got home and have no wish to repeat the same again, and this time in the company of friends with two kids.

    Its nice and bright here as well, quite warm when the sun pokes out every now and then - you all remember the sun don't you? Not sure of the temp, but its warm enough for shirt sleeves.

    Hi all,
    It's been a beautiful day here in the Midlands,warm and sunny all day.
    Got loads done.
    Even cleaned out the shed and had a trip to the tip.
    Done all the washing and now I'm shattered.
    Just having a quick rest before I start the tea.
    They say it's going to be good tomorrow as well.:thumb:

    We had a thunder storm around 5 ish didn't last long and it's dry and bright again.
