Weather Talk
By Mark Vogan

Story coming today on current British weather pattern and what I believe lies ahead for you as we approach May, the first summer-month in my opinion! BTW My wife and I enjoyed our first BBQ last evening. Not particularly warm, however it was dry, mostly clear and NO WIND and that is in my opinion the biggest two factors.... Dry and no wind. Nothing worse than having all your stuff as well as embers blowing around even if it's sunny and warm...
