The difference a week makes

Last Saturday we basked in record high temperatures; sandals, shorts, skimpy tops & sun block were retrieved form cupboards & wardrobes; supermarkets ran out of beer.

Today it is cold enough for wearing the new winter fleece – that is on top of the jumper & under the rain jacket - as the cloud covers the sky releasing constant rain.

The journey from there to here has been full of incident.

High winds, cloudbursts, flashes of lightning seemingly unaccompanied by thunder, and then, as if just to tease, the moon came out at midnight on Thursday to shine so brightly through the kitchen window that there was no need to switch on any lights.
