WITH the bank holiday weekend fast approaching a few lucky ducks will have booked Friday off to guarantee a four day break, but will the sun be shining on the righteous? 

The weather this month has been particularly hit or miss, with some gloriously sunny spells and a fair few grey days. 

Unfortunately the weather this weekend isn’t looking like much to write home about, but hopefully it will stay nice and dry for us to enjoy an al-fresco meal in the garden.
