We thought we’d recommend a Weather themed fancy dress party today as one of the things about the great British public is its ability to talk about the weather. Whether it’s snowing, raining or sunny, it’s always not right for someone.

Some of our  Weather costume Ideas…

• Sun burnt – using a blusher, or Snazaroo facepaint cover your face, but leave a sunglasses ‘white spot’. This could be taken further (if you want)!
• Snowman costume – and you thought you wouldn’t see it again until next Christmas
• Ski Wear
• Umbrella with pictures of cats and dogs hanging down from it
• As above, but with stair rods hanging down
• Whoppee Cushion costume for ‘Windy’
• Jack Frost – wear all white with snowflakes hanging down
• Bathing costume
• Dust Devil – wear a Devil costume holding a duster
• Storm – Superhero character
• Apollo – God of the sun – wear a Roman costume

As we mentioned a few days ago, this time of year is when many people’s thoughts turn towards booking their summer holidays. This year is going to be interesting in that some of those who have managed to obtain tickets for the Olympic Games, which start in July, are perhaps not considering taking a summer break at all this year. Others are doing all in their power to find ways of escaping the wall-to-wall sport, and somewhere in between are the tour companies trying to Do Something Different. Because London’s hotels will be potentially fully booked and normal traffic movements through the capital may be restricted or delayed, the latest bright thinking from the coach companies who would usually be showing off the sights of London, is to offer tours of the M25, alternatively known as The Magic Roundabout or The Road To Hell (depending upon prevailing traffic conditions). Here at Battlesbridge we are only a few miles from the tour route so perhaps we should put in as a potential excursion: With our forthcoming reality show due to air soon, there could well be those keen to meet the stars!
