Picture this: you're all set for a sunny croquet game when, out of nowhere, the sky opens up in a torrential downpour. Ah, the unpredictable British weather! Join us on this laugh-out-loud episode of Bonus Dad, Bonus Daughter as we navigate the hilarities and peculiarities of the UK's climate. From the joy of spontaneous weather changes during outdoor activities to how Brits use weather talk to sidestep awkward encounters, we've got a treasure trove of whimsical stories to share.

Ever wondered why British beaches are a year-round affair despite their often less-than-ideal conditions? We'll take you on a delightful journey through Norfolk and Cornwall's coastal gems, comparing the industrial vibes of Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth to the pristine sands of Cromer and Cornwall. Along the way, you'll hear about our annual VW festival trips, winter beach traditions on Christmas Day, and how the unique charm of the English sun makes every seaside visit memorable, no matter the season.

Is there truly a perfect season, or do we Brits just love to grumble about each one? We'll dive into this perennial debate with spirited discussions about our favorite seasonal activities, from kayaking and paddleboarding in the summer to skiing in the winter. Alongside tips and personal anecdotes, we humorously lament the chaos of school breaks and the inconvenience of summer holidays. Wrapping up with our own seasonal preferences, we even give a nod to the often-overlooked spring. So, whether you're a summer enthusiast or a winter lover, there's something in this episode for you. Tune in and join the fun!
