Rain

We've been having a lot of rain in Cornwall recently. St Ives was flooded a couple of days ago and there are big puddles in the road outside. The sort of rain we get down here tends to come with a lot of wind so umbrellas are fairly useless most of the time and often get turned inside out if you try to use them in the wind. Sometimes it's necessary to put on full wet weather gear to go anywhere. The benefit of all this rain however is that the grass is practically always a lovely shade of green and plants blossom all year round. For instance, during this last winter we had primroses flowering in the back garden for a while.
