Rain rain go away....

The current inclement weather is reminding me of October rather than June! Not helped by the howling wind.  I felt sorry for the poor Queen last week on her boat - out there in the rain and then the sun came out for the concert and all that hula hooping by Grace Jones (did she have some sort of magnetic belt to help keep it up?).

Isobel and Arthur had a lovely Jubilee weekend.  Isobel was obsessed by the Aldi Facepaints (£1.50 - bargain....luckily it didn't peel her skin off either which was a slight concern!).  She even painted mummy and daddy with some red white and blue!  We were in Preston for the Jubilee - and it rained and was cold.  But then again it was cold and wet everywhere!  We dragged the kids to some Jubilee event which was moved indoors and had a particularly depressing band playing - not an upbeat song was played which didn't help the weather!  Isobel went to watch the dogs doing some form of dog show but they were frankly hating the wind and rain as much as everyone else and refused to jump over their jumps!

But, stiff upper lip and all that, we weren't to be put off!  A hog roast sarnie was had (good crackling) and Isobel jumped about on a very wet trampoline and then promptly came home and made some bunting - very Blue Peter!  Pretty good don't you think!

All in all a good weekend, lots of cake, lots of dancing, lots of bunting and balloons.  Oh and a trip out to the pub without any kids! God bless the long weekend.
