Son2, heading out the door to brave the deluge to go to school.
"I like Scotland's weather "
and there's me thinking, "You can take this patriotism too far......" :rolleyes
I like rain when I don't *have* to do anything in it but enjoy it I love the smell of it after a hot dry day. I love the fresh air that follows it, the softness of my skin and hair after working out in it for days, the way the world seems washed clean, the burns and rivers flowing fast and full.
I'm not a fan when I'm trying to work in the garden, dry washing, go shopping, set up camp or drive hundreds of miles in it though, and I hate it when I'm soaked to the skin, I have to work, I can't get dry, I can't get out of the weather.
I've worked and lived sodden wet for weeks on end and there's no pleasure in it There are *no* waterproofs that work efficiently, breathably in that kind of weather and use. The skin becomes a permanent shiver zone and it takes days to settle down again once home. Sleeping wet is worse
How do you recognise the British Queen ? .........she's the one with the brolly
Ever notice how most females here have a multitude of brollies ? Like shoes they come in different colours / designs/ sizes and nowadays so do our wellies
cheers,
Toddy
