We are currently parked on a sosta in the aosta valley at Hone (Italian alps) and it's like a wet bank holiday in keswick! We managed to get up a pass on the bike last night before it closed in.
So we are sat on the bed in the back listening to radio 2 (we were watching corrie until the weather broke that as well).
I mean it's Italy in July for goodness sake. A quick google about tells me it's rubbish everywhere apart from the med which is only 2 hrs drive but you can guarentee the whole of italy will be there.
We were going to go up Mont Blanc but I can barely see the hill behind the van right now let alone a 14000ft hill!
So I you come on here and tell me it's sunny in bognor or positively balmy in Yorkshire I will have to kill you.
Mrs D is on about having a hike up some mountain in the mist and rain. I'm just concerned However that the helicopter won't find us when we need to be air lifted off. Mind you if they fly like they drive they probably won't get off the ground anyway.
On the plus side the little town of Hone has put on a superb sosta. Lovely spacious hard standing pitches it states for 11 vans but loads of room for more, ehu on both sides (they work and seem powerful), water to every pitch, 2 stone barbies (ha ha fat chance) a grassy area with wooden picnic tables and all overlooking a raging river with what appears to be salmon ladders. All for 8 euros for 24 hours which seems good value to me. Even the chancelor agrees we might be able to afford a second night which is good as I don't fancy driving up into Mont Blanc in a cloud.
So let us know where you Are and what the weather is like. It had better be bad and don't make it up!

The weather in Cornwall this morning is a bit breezy, but dry where I am right now. Looks like a good chance of rain though. A bit of a shock after 3 weeks of sunshine (and possibly more while we were in France). Having said that it was supposed to rain yesterday and after a bit in the morning it was quite a nice sunny day.
On the other hand the last week of July and first week of August is dependable in Cornwall for being wet (sorry to others who are intending to be here then) and so I'd stick it out - Italy is pretty sure to be better!
Never mind Barry it could be worse you could be at home with it bucketing it down like it is in Leeds today. Funnily enough it stops at teatime and nothing overnight manged to dry loads of laundry.
Barryd - I think you can relax in the knowledge that the weather in England - at least where we are west of London - is complete and utter rubbish. It has rained virtually the whole weekend, although no doubt the sun will come out tomorrow when we all have to go to work.
I rained almost all day yesterday here in Surrey. It was dry first thing this morning so I was fooled into putting a load of bedding in the washing mashine. It's now raining again.
Warm and sunny all week and a cold,wet and windy weekend to keep the brats in.
Tomorrow,Monday, promises to be fine again.
Innit great to be retired?
