Do You Need Rain In Sydney
I hear on our U.K. news Sydney area is suffering drought problems, if this is so SEND FOR ME.
I never have an holiday unless it rains (buckets) and just to proove it see attached picture of me on holiday in Sydney IN THE RAIN.
This picture was taken in Sydney this year about 17th January. We went to Greece 3 months earlier and guess what they had floods whilst we were there.
In fact I have never had an holiday without lots of rain, even our honeymoon 48 years ago it rained every day for a fortnight.(lovely)
Rain guaranteed

Have you ever read So Long and Thanks for All the Fish by Douglas Adams? It the forth book in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. It had a truck driver character in it that the rain followed everywhere. The character wasn't based on you was it?
BTW, when you come to Australia just make sure you stay away from the cities where the cricket is being played.Photo Gallery

It always rains in Sydney, in sunny Melbourne we pray for the rain Sydney receives to break our drought.

From the porter at the Holiday Inn..He ran short that day. The rain was so bad that when we went into a Sydney restaurant that day we felt like we were sitting at the table in our swiming costumes.

Here at the glorious Sunshine Coast we have had the second driest winter on record....24mm in three months (apparently)!
Last year, when undertaking the minor renovation, we had the wettest March and May on record, and eight days over that period with more than 100mm a day. You weren't here then were you?
All I know is that we took our roof off with 5 clear days forecast, and had 125mm (seven inches) of precipitation before we could get it back on!
Then we planted an entirely new garden and it hasn't rained ever since!
Cheers,

Theres been a large puddle just outside our front gate thats been there for months. Down in South West Victoria I have had to mow the lawns weekly in mid summer as theres been good rainfall and the blasted grass just keeps on growing. But the cows love it, thats why you can still get milk in the cities.

Jow,
There's a few farmers who would love to have you take a holiday and stay with them. They would probably pay for your airfare when you produced the goods.
This could be a very lucrative sideline for you.

John,
I've only just twigged, you live in Devon - home of my very favourite Theme Park of all Time! Yes folks ; Diggerland
You must have been home last time we were there because we stopped for a sanger at the Dig Inn and there was a fair bit of precipitation!!
The best things about Diggerland are that you can actually book your wedding there, and the name of the events co-ordinator: Sandi Digby (ph 08700 344 437 for further details).
I kid you not!!
Cheers,
P

Very tempting suggestion. I'll pay my own fares though, just in case I'm lucky for a change.
re Sandi Dig
I'm worried about that telephone numberwoody U.K.
