Was thinking Hyde Park , a Sunday afternoon - 29th July sounds like a fine day.

What I want to know is, how many of your are bringing babies or 3.5 year olds. TBH I WILL only travel with one as the other one does the other ones head in. IYKWIM.

Bugger! Forecast is now saying rain for Sunday!!!!!

Have we peeved the Met Office at some point in the past?

I am really looking forward to meeting everyone, although a bit scared rain is not good.

I noticed that too QV. Still, forecast will prob change another 5 times between now and then, and then turn out to be wrong anyway!

I emailed the park about the Music Village thing, and also shelter from the rain. They replied with this....

"Thank you for your email. The music village event does take up a fair amount of the area that is marked on our map so i would say you might be better advised to situate yourselves in a quieter area of the Park, having said that the music village event is a very nice family music event and if you were to stay in that are you might like to sit at the top of the hill with your group where you can see the stage and listen to the music.

In the event of rain we can really only suggest using the shelter of one of our larger trees as the bandstand becomes quite slippery and wet when it rains and definitely unsafe for people to use.

If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me"

So if lightning starts, we are the first to cop it right?

It's going to be a glorious weekend, except for Sunday, apparently.

Forecast for heavy rain. Am getting twitchy about it now.....

Well lets face it, if it's pissing down on Sunday, it's going to be a bit of a no-goer to go to an outdoor.

I won't be able to come. I wouldn't want to as it will be a bit pants with little ones in the rain.

If it goes tits up on Sunday, maybe we could wait for some better weather and do it then.

Park.

You'd think being end of July, we'd not need to wait for decent weather

I know I know, and I will definitely be there if it's nice. I keep checking BBC weather but it's not looking good.

Indeed. Its the one bloody day that it is going to be raining....grrr

bugger - weather is really looking pants and agree without the sun it is a bit of a non starter.

And there is no one even to be angry wth (but I could point out that we never had summers like this under Tony Blair!)

Will be taking my name off the list, I think - DS1 has horribly high temps and tonsilitis. Is on his second lot of antibiotics now - don't want to drag him into town.

Hunker

Arse....

Shall we postpone folks?

Well, I cant face it if its raining. I just need a nice easy day!

Okay - well we'll cancel until further notice - hopefully things will brighten up in August and we can re-arrange?

Yes, let's hope for some sun in August!

Could UCM, Kif, Kewcumber, EHM and BBB either CAT me or mail icklemiracles at gmail dot com please?

VeniVidiVickiQV sorry to hear that your lo is unwell, poor wee think tonsilitis is horrible. dd had tonsilitis at the end of may not nice.
CSWSI will CAT you now

(it's Hunker's ds who is poorly - she's nicking QV's sign on!).

Might be quicker to mail me on the other address I gave, as then we won't have to wait for MN Towers to forward it.

dopesorry hunker.
Thanks CSWS will email you
