You're living dangerously, in not using your guys! We were in Buxton, last week, and the winds suddenly got up to gale force - if we'd not been properly pegged down, we'd have become kite-like!
You've got a great tent and have obviously taken time to set up a home from home with all the gear, so why not actually pitch the tent properly and make sure you're anchored down?
I don't mean any offence, but you really can't trust the weather in the UK - and particularly at this time of year - so why take the risk? You've got your interior tension straps on, but no guys??!! If the wind does get up, your lovely set up will be history, believe me, especially with it being an inflatable.

Thanks for the concern, but currently as the wind isn't strong enough to remove the smells that my dog is making I think we are safe....we are also only 10 mins from home so if any weather does change we'll be packed up and home inside of an hour. This is only a practice pitch to check the beams as we are actually going away in 2 weeks to which all guys will be securely fastened as well as the Sun canopy fitted and tested

Hope to see you on our travels
