Rain rain go away....

Friday was a Bank Holiday and, true to form for the British weather, it was absolutely peeing down. I think we're going to miss terribly the general reliability of the weather in Washington DC and the spot on accurate forecasts of the Weather Channel. Usually the only concern for a holiday weekend was whether the temperature was going to be 80 or 100 degrees!! I'm sure there is some rose-coloured specs thing going on, but I don't remember a holiday weekend where we were rained out...

We popped in to see Mr + Mrs ex-POQI and the kids for a coffee on Friday morning on our way back to Malvern. The kids were in fine form! Josh giggled a lot and then dashed off to the kitchen. He came back in with a freezer pack - obviously Stephen will be forever associated with putting ice down peoples backs! Katie was delighted that I worked out how to make the shower work in her dolls house and wanted me to stay for a week!

Paul gave us some good tips on car dealers in the area and when we left we spent a good hour or so trawling round them. Yawn!!

As the M4 was at a standstill we peeled off and drove up through Oxford. We passed through some lovely countryside. It was such a shame about the weather though. It was just very wet and gray.
