    Sorry Panda - your post snuck in there image

    Met office is says 70 - 85% chance of rain until 2pm - I think we were planning to be there from 11am?

    I've texted Snoodle to say "we're discussing this - what does she think?"

  • Hi, being trying to respond but clingy child keeps insisting on either me or the iPad.  I think we should postpone.  It'll be a grim journey too, and such a shame to go to all that effort and not see the garden properly.  Let's try again for a date next month.  Garden may be better closer to autumn anyway, rather than at the august lull. (Ok, so looking on the bright side, there!)

    I think that's sensible/practical image

    I agree - 3 of the 4 roads out of our village were flooded yesterday & there's a lot of rain to come over the next 24 hrs so I wasn't really looking forward to the journey! Hopefully we can all get together soon.

    It's not just the getting there - it's the getting home again afterwards that might be tricky for some if the roads flood image

  • You're going to think, 'what the bluddy ell has it got to do with him' or worse  image but I do care for other people and think (looking at the local weather forecast) you would be wise to do this another time.

    I'll get me coat.

  • What the bluddy ell has it got to do with him??!

    (smile)

  • Ps, think you'll need more than a coat with what's coming....
