We Blame The Parents!

Oh, the price we have to pay to indulge your fecundity. For if you did not insist on inflicting your sprogs on the world then there would be no need for schools and if there were no schools there would be no need for school holidays .....

..... and if there were no school holidays then we would still be experiencing the glorious weather we enjoyed in June and early July. 

But now, after the final clang of the school bell we find ourselves magically transported to The Undersea World Of Jacques Cousteau!

Oh, and if you're wondering what next week's long-term weather forecast is, just consider whether it is still the skool hols and we'll give you no prizes whatsoever for deciding to pack your sou'wester, snorkel and flippers!
