Everyone is complaining about the “hot and dry summer” Britain is supposed to be experiencing at the moment. Anything but! After five years of living in this country I’ve learnt to ignore any weather forecasts but check out the Met Office’s Rain Radar instead and if all seems clear, make a mad dash for the park! If there is time left after basking in glorious sunshine we even have a picnic (full review here). Now this is where I get curious…
