Cannot remember the last time I went out without getting wet. I know have out door hobbies mean you have to put up with the odd shower, but this is bloody ridiculous.

I think I'm growing webbed feet.

It's wild here in Burnham on sea, you can just about walk against the wind, which isn't that unusual I know, but it's the strongest winds of the year right now, even the seagulls are taking shelter.

It's driving me bats, too.

Virtually all of my hobbies and pastimes are outdoors.

Still. Here in the South the weather has been merely annoying rather than actively dangerous and damaging like it's been for the poor Cumbrians.

Up here that weather was just merely annoying, a minor inconvenience. Us Northerners are tough. smile

It's Britain, and its the winter, why on earth would you be surprised?

Agreed. I'm itching to get out in the Tuscan but there's no fun if it's pissing down. Not driven it for 3 weeks now

Adverse weather happens every year, but agree its the folk of the north who face the brunt of it.
But life carries on up there,(true northern grit) unlike when the snow hit the sarf last year it all came to a halt

But as I speak our building is making large creeking noises with the wind sonar
