In case you were wondering whether the Tindalls would make it tonight, given the weather warning for the Midlands (they live just North East of Banbury), I have been in contact with Stuart and they just decided to have a go. Their concern is not about coming down "south" but rather about being able to return, as the weather warning gets hairier for after midnight or so. But they have a 4x4, and they will have a neighbour call them if things start to get stiff, so that they can stage a quick getaway from Herga to avoid the worst of it all.

Should it materialise.

So, tonight is definitely on. And Kitty, the weather outlook for North Harrow is wet-and-squelchy but not white-and-slippery.
