Hi Charlie,
I am sorry to hear that you couldn't enjoy your picnic as much because of the rain. My family and I don’t really go on picnics but we quite often have BBQ at our house. However, I do sometimes have picnics with my friends in the park near my house.
I’ve heard many bad things about the weather in England and, to be honest, I don’t think our weather is as bad. We often have very warm and sunny days.
So, how did you do in your exams?
Best wishes,
