Was at Paultons Park near you, from late morning yesterday with the
grandkids - I used your morning report to help with decision-making,
thanks! While it wasn't quite "picnic on the grass" weather, it was
absolutely fine for a day out there. The occasional spot of drizzle
did nothing to dampen spirits, the grass was firm and never worse than
damp; it was a bit too too warm at times to wear a coat.

Apart from the odd spots, there was half an hour of light drizzle in
mid afternoon (which i expected) so we had our picnic then on a bench
under a tree. Occasional light drizzle? No problem and we made the
right decision to go - barely any queues at all, excellent! The only
time we got wet was on one of the "water" rides.
