It's rained non stop for 12 days, and last night it looked like the forecast was good for tomorrow. Now I just saw Windsor has 21 degrees and sunshine, and tomorrow is forecast for rain storms. I give up. I wanted to do something special for Mikey's 4th birthday, and after the accident I was determined to do it. Now I don't know what to do. I need to keep a tight rein on the budget due to the horrific expenses of car accidents, coupled with the fact we recently bought a new car (now damaged), washer and dryer (they both died) and I found a killer deal for a 42 inch LCD the other day. Hmmmmm, maybe a day at a museum is in order instead.

August, cold and dank and wet, Brings more rain than any yet. Bleak September's mist and mud Is enough to chill the blood. Then October adds a gale: Wind and slush and rain and hail. Dark November brings the fog; Should not do it to a dog. Freezing wet December then: Bloody January again!<<

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo well folks the positive thoughts paid off. We went to Legoland windsor, got our annual passes for free - thank you tescos. The sun shone all day, we managed to get tans and experienced 15 attractions. In the driving school briefing, Mikey told everyone mama and daddy crash cars, but he won't. We all had a blast and it didn't rain until we got in the car! Today is just what the dr ordered. Not Disney, but still the best park in the Uk

Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Agreed, but it was a huge surprise given how wet and cold it has been for the last 2 weeks.
Originally Posted By bloona Oh Im so glad you had a great time Dave, you truley deserved to. Ive never been to Legoland. I think Kieran's too old for it now too, do you? Weatherwise disneydad, you cant reley on it any time of year, but June - August is your best bet really. You visiting?
