Mmmm I'm tempted to say not I'm afraid. But there are still opportunities throughout the next three days.

Maybe JP is going to have another curry?

There is a bit of lightning indicated in the Channel, but whether it can make it...

[Guest archiesmummy]

Don't despair The forecast for us is way better than it was a couple of days ago, as JP has indicated.

Still nothing here though yet, but I'm sort of confident.
