I enjoy extreme weather- just so long as it's not so extreme as to cause damage...
Yesterday, for instance, we were shopping at Lidl in Polegate and got caught in a terrific downpour. I ran for the car, pushing my trolley, and it was if someone was chucking gravel in the air and it was falling on my bent back. A bit daunting at the time but it turned an outing that would otherwise have been routine and forgettable into a Proper Experience- a pleasure to remember- and then to write about.
That downpour was localised. We drove home- a couple of miles- and found our part of town had experienced nothing but a passing dampness.
Since then it has rained on and off. Just now the sun is shining on us but the sky to the West- where most of our weather comes from- is very, very heavy....
