No Cheese Gromit!

As some of you will know, Tim and I had been looking forward to this weekend for quite a while - the Great British Cheese Festival was on in Cheltenham, and we'd booked tickets! We spent the weekend at Tim's parent's house in Stow - the weekend started well on Saturday with a nice Walk to a pub and back. Unfortunately, we didn't bother to wear our nice new gaiters, which turned out to be a slight mistake:



On Sunday, after a light breakfast (leaving plenty of room for cheese tasting), we headed off to Cheltenham - through the heaviest rainstorm I have ever driven in! Thunder, lightning, hail, flooded roads... all rather scary. It cleared up a bit as we reached Cheltenham, and actually stopped raining as we walked through the town to the festival - only to find it had been flooded out and the electricity had gone, so thay'd had to cancel it. Sigh...

So our fridge is looking rather empty now, not stuffed with cheese as we had hoped.
Chris, who is in Amsterdam for the weekend, has offered to post us an Edam. Not quite the same somehow...
