If the weather is like it is here mate, find a place with shelter.

I suggest somewhere with ale and a log fire.

When you actually feel anger over a place like this it's time to get a life

We went to the maldives years back and of all the things to take great pics of, she found some rabbits. The joy we had when flicking through the 20 odd rabbit photos back home will never be beaten.

It helped that it was early on in the journey, about the time we last seen the sun.

Pub gardens full, roaring trade for local businesses. Can't say a bad thing about it, except it was late.
