Awayaweek

The Eyjafjallajokull -postponed trip to the UK's been rearranged and we're off early tomorrow morning for a week.

Thanks to the volcano we seem to have missed the heatwave - Brits were 'basking in temperatures of 19C' then.

Now the weather forecast says 5C at night, a max of 16C for the next few days, a mixture of cloud, sunny intervals and rain showers.

My comfort is going to depend on a small foldable umbrella, the nearest thing I've got to waterproof clothing (a 'showerproof' jacket) and sweaters.

See you in a week...
