Bloody British Weather
Really gets me down!!!
Dad was 65 today. As a surprise we hired a massive BBQ pitch at Queen Elizabeth Country Park. Between us spent a bloody fortune.
Had kids games to keep them happy, 1950`s muusic to keep the ole man happy (dad, that is not Mick), loads of large buckets full of ice, with a huge selection of yummy alcohol chilling. Then enough foood for the 5000!!!
Yep you guessed it. It pissed down!!!!
Really disappointed as we had loads of family there, some had travelled miles and we knew in our hearts that this would be the last time we would see them.
And it was ruined.........

Look on the bright side, saves having to worry about a leaving do. Which can be very stressful.
Since we have moved to NZ the one big shock for us was the amount of rain we get. The worst summer in living memory we are told. Hope they are not just trying to cheer us up.
