Posted on Fri 24th Mar, 2017 in: Blog

Hello everyone!

It's Friday! It's the weekend!

The weather has made an effort this weekend, it's sunny and warm! It is supposedly going to be hotter than in the Canary Islands. The met office has predicted temperatures of 16º and even going up to as high as 18º! 

Some horrible news came from London on Wednesday- there was a terrorist attack in Westminster. 52-year-old Khalid Masood drove along the pavement on Westminster Bridge and then into the railings of the Houses of Parliament, where he stabbed a police officer to death before being shot by the police. 5 people died in the attack, including the attacker. 48-year-old husband and father PC Keith Palmer was on guard outside Parliament when he was stabbed by the attacker. 43-year-old wife and mother of 2 Aysha Frade was on her way to pick up her 2 children from school when she was hit by the car. American Tourist Kurt Cochran was on a trip to London with his wife to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary when the attack happened, his wife sustained a broken leg, broken rib and a cut to her head. 75-year-old retired window cleaner Leslie Rhodes was on his way to visit a nearby hospital when the car hit him- he was taken to hospital but however he died when the life support machine was switched off. The attacker died when he was shot by armed police after stabbing PC Palmer to death.

Summer is nearly here! Don't forget that the clocks go forward 1 hour at 1am on Sunday morning- we will get 1 less hour in bed that night but we do get more hours of daylight! On Monday, the sun will rise at 6:54 and set at half 7. 

Now that's it's getting closer and closer towards Barbeque season, why not take a look at the barbeques and pizza ovens which we have for sale here! We have an Uuni 2s Pizza Oven- it cooks pizza in 60 seconds when it is at maximum temperature! A bundle including the oven, an extra pizza peel and a cover all for £235!
