Early yesterday morning, at first light, we had very heavy dark clouds overhead.
It felt unusually mild, even warm.
Light drizzle started to fall.
I decided to change for a walk. There was a strong breeze blowing.
For the first ten minutes outside, the light rain made me only a little damp.
Disappointing.
A view towards the horizon, however, looking in the direction that the wind was coming from, showed that everything was obscured by a grey curtain sweeping down from the clouds.
The rain became steadier before gusts of wind carried a series of splatters against my back.
I felt my light rain top wet against me as rainwater bounced all around and the footpath became awash. Now it was absolutely pouring.
I carried on for ten minutes, suddenly enjoying this walk so much.I
Numerous joggers, walkers, and cyclists passed.
I turned around, to feel the rain battering into my face and drenching me to the skin.
Lovely!
