Flight Cancelled

Well I am sat here feeling very frustrated, as I have just cancelled my planned flight today from Gamston to Leicester. The forecast today is very similar to that of yesterday, and certainly here in Sheffield, the day turned out better than expected. The bit that concerns me on the TAF's is the threat of thunderstorms en-route. During my training, I was advised that TS is a no-no.

My decision is also based on the fact that I would be taking two passengers (who I do not know), so their reaction to turbulence is unknown.

I have about 100 hours in my log book now, and have just completed the IMC, so I am still a relative novice. I would appreciate others opinions from the forecasts. Am I being over-cautious ??
