I have just about had enough of the rain, it is non-stop! The area was hit by floods a couple of weeks back and we have had rain most days since and we are back on a high flood alert.
Today's rain was accompanied by really big hail stones, it actually sounded like proper stones hitting the windows! Some of them were huge.
The kitten thought it would try and attack the rain drops as they fell down the windows!

November 15th 2015 - Rain
Rain, rain and even more rain! We have had so much rain the pats few days that there is flooding everywhere! Loads of areas are on high flood alert and some are on caution of being evacuated.
I'm quite lucky my house is near the top of hillside, and is also up a flight of 13 stairs to do the front door, so we're not likely to flood.
Sadly though today we had planned to go to town for the Christmas light switch on but due to the rain I decided that we were not going to go and get wet. It wouldn't have been fair on my middle son who has really bad asthma and would have ended up ill. So we stayed at home in the warm instead.

November 8th 2015 - Remembrance Parade
As part of a uniformed organisation we always take part in the annual Remembrance Parade through town.
However, this year the weather was absolutely horrid, it wasn't just raining but chucking it down and the wind was blowing in all directions. As the Youth Manager I made the decision that they did not have to parade if they didn't want to. I spoke to the youth members and their parents and gave them all a choice of staying and parading in the rain or going home. If they chose to go home I would not be cross but glad that they actually turned up.
6 of the Cadets stayed and paraded, I sent the 2 under 1oyr old Badgers home as it wasn't fair on them being small and 1 having health problems. I am very proud of the Cadets that did stay and parade and they should be proud of themselves as well.
I just hope that none of them end up ill from it. My son, who is a cadet paraded and when he came home he was soaked to the skin and shivering bless him.

April 12th 2015 - A wet Sunday
April 12th 2015 - A wet Sunday
Where has the sun gone??? We've had a lovely week and have been outside for most of it, just started to get used to the idea of spring/summer being on the way, I even thought about getting the shorts n stuff out of the box and it rained last night and hasn't stopped today!
So what better to do on a wet day than play Monopoly Junior with the kids. We were going to play my Disney Monopoly but think its too hard for lil man, who has only just got the idea of the junior version.
We have also done some jigsaw puzzles and i'm sure we will end up playing some more games this afternoon.
