Thank goodness that the weather men often get the forecasts wrong!
After getting a few extra grey hairs (and sore knees from praying to the weather gods) worrying the weather would be bad for the royal parents visit, it turned out to be perfect. In fact one day my Mum actually commented on it being too hot, phew…
That was a really close call to say that just a few days ago we had rain (as my last post) and then the following day the heavens opened again in the afternoon. I must say though we actually liked it! I know that might sound mad after escaping the British and Canadian weather, but when it’s hot and sunny all the time rain is quite a novelty. When we got caught out in it last week we were in no rush to escape the rain drops that were cooling our scorched skin. Funny how your perspective of rain can soon change.
The main thing is our parents saw lovely sunshine for all of their stay and since then it has been getting hotter each day. The weather center today says it is topping 32 degrees, which I can believe. We best get used to it as within the next few months the temperature rises to 40 in the shade!
