Another wet weekend!!
The rain has been relentless today with the local news full of reports
about flooding and impassable roads.
Although aware that the passage of time and rose coloured spectacles
walk hand in hand, I genuinely have no recollection of rain falling with such
protracted intensity during my childhood.
My memories are of walking to school on rainy days when the cloakroom
smelt of damp wool and warm rubber, our damp coats and wellies steaming gently
as they dried by ancient radiators. Unforgettable, torrential cloud-bursts that
soaked us to the skin form no part of my nostalgia collection
