Its gonna rain and then rain some more...

Okay, this is it then. The day before launch. I woke at 6am and couldn't get back to sleep as I was too excited. It's a bit like the feeling you have at Christmas time! 

Doyle and Swaff will be here in a couple of hours and we're heading out to get some last minute shopping.

If recent weather reports are to be believed then we'll be buying some waterproof clothing today. Online reports suggest that it's going to rain on Saturday, Sunday and then all the way through till Wednesday. I haven't found any reports stretching further ahead than this but hopefully there'll be some sun at some point!

Really it should be no surprise to learn that it's going to rain - after all, last year was rained off, and this year the trip coincides with England playing cricket as well as a Bank Holiday Monday. What chance of fine weather did we ever have?!?
