It was wet underfoot today as one might expect given the constant precipitation.
It turned
out to be a nice afternoon though despite being a desperate morning weatherwise. Early on it was driving sleet but then around
lunchtime the sun came out and it was very pleasant. Nothing to show photographically though but it was good to be able to be outside in reasonable comfort.
Very sad
for those down south who have been inundated.
There is something to be said for living on a hill in the full blast of
the prevailing wind after all. What is
worse is that some evacuated homes down there, I read, are being looted. There was a time I think, certainly in those
parts, when that would never have happened.
Unforgivable but times have changed. Anyway it is now white outside and there is more deluge and high wind to come they say, so the sunny calm of the last couple of days might be the last for a while.
