God damn it, why is it as soon as somebody mentions the words Glastonbury and or Wimbledon the heavens open and it rains and rains and rains…

It is June isn’t it, I didn’t fall into some kind of semi comatose state and completely miss summer?

I took the day off work today, I had an extra day off that need to be booked, so we made plans for the blonde kid to stay off school so we could take him to Ragley Hall on some Home Ed fun day out, and we also had passes this evening to see The Feeling play at Cannock Chase, Rain put a damper on both events.

Ragley Hall asked us to rearrange the booking as there adventure playground was saturated which was fair enough I suppose but then it has done nothing but rain ALL day which made us reconsider our plans for this evening. With the memory of a very very wet V festival last summer still fairly fresh in mind, And tonights concert being an outdoor event that for some reason known only to the organizers had banned umbrellas we thought it best to cancel.

V was ok because as 2 adults we could just put up and shut up with the rain, the mud, the rain, the wind, the rain…I’m not too sure how a tired 7 year old would manage in the middle of the forest with no shelter and no where to sit in those conditions! So now I’m home , listening to Kasabian rock Glastonbury courtesy of BBCi and scouring the internet for weather reports for Colchester in a weeks time praying the weather will have made some sort of drastic improvement by then.

Myself, James and Jordan 1 tent and a couple of hundred kids at the annual HESFES meet is sounding less and less appealing with the idea that it might be held in one very wet mud locked field!!
