Quiet a drizzly Sunday here in Atlanta. It has been raining for the last two days pretty much...not that we are complaining but the yard cleanup I was going to do prior to heading across the pond isn't getting done.
We looked at the 10 day forecast for Chesterfield, UK this morning as that is the closest town of any size to where we are heading on Tuesday. Looks like it will be rain and snow mixed on Tuesday and full snow on Wednesday for our arrival. This, of course, has precipitated Madam Monk unpacking, sorting, substituting, rethinking and repacking once more this morning. I even decided that I would pack a slightly heavier coat. There is a difference in 50F and misty/rainy and 35 rainy/snowy.
It looks to be a bit warmer and a little less rainy in the South where we will be heading after the wedding festivities. Us Yanks have some trouble dealing with the close distances in the UK. You can pretty much get from anywhere to anywhere in a couple of hours(depending on traffic) but amazingly there can be quite different weather from one end of the island to another.
With the rain keeping everyone close to home Madam and I rented Sweeney Todd yesterday. Neither of us thought it was worth the trouble and there was definitely too much blood and throat slitting for both our tastes. Very disappointed because we have liked Johnny Depp in most everything. We also rented Beowulf which was another huge disappointment and it didn't even get finished...only watched the first 20 minutes or so and could see it was going to be nothing we wanted to finish.
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend, even if it is raining there.
