Rain, rain and more rain

It hasn't stopped all day! It as been so wet we decided to go play in the puddles with the aid of the Land Rover! Much more civilised way to play outdoors. Instead of being wet, cold and allot of moaning we had dry, warmth and laugther as we tried to see if we could get the water over the roof of the disco! What a great afternoons sport

Weather

We are certainly becoming obsessed with the weather at the moment. Heavy rain storms Friday and we had numerous power outages. Bad weather continued over the weekend - a low hit without any wind, so it just dumped rain on already wet land. One example, Sheffield normally gets 60mm of rain in June, yesterday along it had over 240mm in one day! People had to be rescued by air/sea rescue in the centre of Sheffield. Here we have heavy clay soil, so i have i growing puddle in the back garden. Shortly we will be legally obliged to mark the deep and shallow ends of the puddle!

Lighter Nights

The clocks changed at the weekend which means it does not get dark to around 19:30hrs now. This means that for the next few weeks i'll be out of sync. When your busy at work during the winter months darkness is a sign it's around 4pm and you have a couple more hours to work! Now i've got to check my watch a bit more and remember to go home before it gets dark!

Highlights

I like this dramatic shot of a ferry between Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight highlighted by the sun streaking through a break in the low cloud
