We could have gone away in the caravan this weekend. In fact, when we came back from our last trip a fortnight ago, we agreed that we would try and get away again this weekend. So what stopped us?
Probably the weather forecast which, during the week, unfolded a picture of wind and rain all weekend.
"Plans for the weekend? Don't even bother," said the local weathergirl on Thursday.
So, we decided to be sensible and stay at home, smug in the knowledge that we were not about to be drowned at sea or blown over the nearest cliff.
And that would have been that, except for the fact that the BBC weather forecasters these days seem to be congenitally unable to get the damn forecasts right!
So, had we been able to see into the future, 'Don't bother going anywhere' would have translated as 'Wall to wall sunshine and a light breeze' which is what we had yesterday and today and probably will again tomorrow.
Infuriating!

Imagine traditional gipsies abandoning their caravan trips just because of poor weather forecasts. Don't be so nesh lass!
Tell it to Keith, YP. He's the one who backed out. ;)
Invest in a pine cone for goodness sake. They're more intelligent and more reliable than any tv weather girl.
How annoying! Anyway enjoy the rest of the weekend. Flighty xx
Pine cone, SP - good idea!
Thanks Flighty.
Lady B - commiserations. Free time is in short enough supply.
BBC got our weather completely wrong on Saturday
Doesn't surprise me, WendyCarole!
