The theme of our trip seems to be that the weather has been stuck in non-permissive mode.
First, on arrival we had to travel a day early to avoid the snow, next: the snow avoids us, so the children don't get to enjoy it. In Canterbury the rain puts a damper on the day. Oh, it's true that the trip to Windsor was okay, although it would have been a lot nicer with blue skies all day instead of the dark clouds which came along.
But today was perhaps the least permissive. We knew ahead of time that it was going to rain, and hard. But we decided that if we were going to go to London we had to do it today. So, LOML was up in the middle of the night looking up train times, opening hours, etc, and we set off: along the way, our plans changed, making most of LOML's research irrelevant --- we went to the Science Museum instead of the National Gallery, for example --- and the weather really ruined much of the day. But given the conditions and constraints, it went okay, and we had a pretty good time.
Next time, though, can I have the number to set the weather to "fine", please?
Yours, closer to dry now than a few hours ago,
N.

What a shame the weather isn't cooperating N. London would be very difficult to enjoy with two little ones when it's nasty and raining.
