Wee John is on his way back to Yorkshire tomorrow for a long, wet weekend.
Others are coming too, including my dad, with the three highlights supposed to be the cricket one-day international on Friday, Jamie's birthday barbecue on Saturday and the arrival of the Olympic Torch on Sunday.
The more eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted that all of these are outdoor events. Given the horrific weather forecast, we'll just have to make the best.
Vanessa was telling Jamie about Wee John's impending trip last Sunday whilst driving us Whites back from my Fathers' Day lunch in Leeds. And, whilst at it, she built in a mini-geography quiz.
Here's how the conversation went:
"Where have we just been?"
"Leeds."
"Where are we now?"
"Yeadon."
"Where do we live?"
"Guiseley."
"Where does Grandma live?"
"Horsforth."
"Where do Granny and Katie live?"
"Northern Ireland."
"Where does Uncle John live?"
"Our house."
I can't think what gave Jamie that idea.
