The rain came down and the wind started to blow

We have had a lovely weekend in the sun enjoying celebrating memorial weekend! Much of the weekend has been spent in the very lovely area of Ponte Vedra http://www.pontevedra.com/

We enjoyed afternoon tea at Ponte Vedra beach

Enjoying the memorial day symphony with our new American friends!

We attended church today which was fantastic, made even better when we were greeted by people from Watford & Manchester! Felt just like home! We were joined for lunch by a family, who were originally from Manchester (Cheadle of all places!) and are now living on the same block as us!

The big news of the weekend is the tropical storms & hurricane threats! The storm is heading straight for Jacksonville from the Atlantic ocean and should hit at some point over night. Already we have seen the weather change as the rain has started and the winds have picked up. If you want to follow the storm, google: "beryl 2012".
We have been shopping and followed all precautions so are prepared for the storm. Just as a warning to you, we have been told the power is likely to go out for a number of days so we won't be able to update the blog, so don't panic if we go silent!!
