Don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

Great news! It stopped raining briefly, so we made hay...erm well, went to stately home farm and playground, whilst the sun shone. This one is very well beloved, they often want to go to the one with the tunnel where you can milk the cow.
There is sand and water to the max, younger sibling loved that bit, especially getting her shoes off and digging... first born likes the water bits, with the big archemedes screw to bring water up from the stream
ah, nirvana, sunshine in the woods, playing in the sand, ice cream, and lots of guniea pigs down in the farm

of course there was more Normandie cider with the picnic, bliss, it all kind of redeemed the rather damp, grey school holiday so far.
