You’d be forgiven for thinking it was currently October rather than August considering the weather we’ve had recently. At the weekend we camped through a thunderstorm at a festival and today during a long anticipated and carefully panned trip to LEGOLAND Windsor we were treated to torrential rain for most of the day.
