Hertford or the Med?

The sun shone all day and we enjoyed 23C in the garden. The sky was so blue against the green pine needles, I really felt we could have been in the Mediterranean. Capital Radio reported that it was warmer here than in either the South of France or Italy. Lucky us!
The marquee was delivered today for Lauren's party tomorrow evening. (A slightly late 16th as we wanted to do it in the holidays). To say we're dreading hosting a teenage party is putting it mildly. We must have been feeling generous/mad when we agreed to it.
