Tony your vision is spot on!! Its absolutely beautiful here on the west at the moment but as correctly point out theres a change coming quicker than thought from the south-east. Theres a yellow warning on Met Office and theres a fair amount of rain forecast for 4 ish in the afternoon.
Sorry but thats been the WX pattern for months now we have not had a settled spell for ages.
I do hope it holds for you and you make it over and have a good day not and endurance day

Latest BBC shows wind 14mph at 10am, 15mph at 3pm and rain all day temp 12/13
If you can put up with the wet stuff you'll be fine

Thanks Jambo, I'm fine in whatever weather but the crew are wimps
Have to keep the drinkers - sorry crew happy or ill get a mutiny! Actually they want me to get a cabin rib, with armchairs, drinks cabinet, and a couple of wimmen - each. That would keep them real happy

So I have to make a call and I'm calling off again


I hope you all have a real good time
