Today was astonishing weather wise... It rained like it was never going to stop.... the Annoying thing was that it had been forecast to be really sunny and dry, and then this morning they said there would be showers .. showers??..it was like god emptied the bath water of the millions who are up there with him. ..jeez!!
I went to the Miniature Village , it's 2 counties from me... . It was dry when I left , and I took a light jacket with me because it was warm, and I thought that if it was just going to be a few showers I wouldn't need anything else.
I was on the Motorway at a standstill of traffic when it started, and even with my wipers on the fastest speed, I could barely see the trucks at the side of me or cars in front.. and the spray back was horrible..
Fortunately just as I pulled into the Miniature Model Village the rain stopped... and altho' everything was damp, it stayed pretty dry albeit overcast for the hour I was there... then I drove back and pulled into the motorway services , and just as I got out of the car, the lashing rain came again, and people scattered and ran for shelter.. . I got a drink at the services, and drove back down the motorway in the rain... soo scary, just couldn't see the traffic for the rain and spray...
Typical that as soon as I got almost home and pulled into the supermarket car park the rain stopped, and the sun came out... I'll sort out the pics from the village, and add them to the photo forum later, for anyone who wants to see..
