IDon't want to be a wuss and 'm happy to go along with everyone else, but just thought I'd flag it up - there's no reason why we couldn't rearrange for a better day is there?
What does everyone else think?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I'm no wuss either Dove - but I was thinking the same thing as I was mopping out our garage which was flooded this pm - along with several of our local roads. And it looks as tho' we're just about to get a bit more...
A deluge like that when we're half way round would not be much fun at all - and it's a long drive to sit in the coffee shop - albeit in excellent company.
I think they're not 100% sure where this weather system is actually going to hit at the moment. Personally, I can leave making a final decision until Sat pm but I appreciate that others have families to consider & may prefer to bite the bullet now.
Has Panda already bought her train ticket...?
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Good point about Panda. I've just PMed her, in case she's intending to buy ticket tonight or something.
Poor you and your garage, TBird! Hope no damage?
i wouldn't be against postponing. It would indeed be very disappointing to travel all that way only to not see much. And the roads will probably be yuck. Plus, logisics are all getting bit clumsy. I'm out the night before at step mum in law's birthday and friend has asked if can kip at ours. Which makes it more awkward if I want to leave to have an early night (would still be a late one for me) and more awkward to turf them out in the morning!

Hurrah TB, was hoping you'd suggest that one
Nut, I understand your envy, but I'm sure your bikers will appreciate you
Given that it now costs a bit more, maybe it's us that should be envious

Why do I live so far away? I've always wanted to go there...
Have a lovely trip, folks! Looking forward to the photos... 
Panda - I think I've sent you a PM - the link from this page isn't working for me today - but I found a way round the back
Hope you get it!
Would anybody like some surplus seeds (more than enough for everyone) -
white Honesty and the spring flowering purple Thalictrum available.
Collected this morning - can bring them on Sunday.
I've just listened to the BBC weather forecast and checked the Met Office site

Ooh, not great. Rain is one thing but weather warnings another. Although I have bought the jelly babies now.
