It’s been almost like a switch has been flicked.  Cold, wet and very miserable.  With the official start to winter just a few days away I should be unsurprised by the cold bleak weather but I’m not.  I keep thinking summer will arrive soon which of course it will but after winter and spring.  In the meantime we can enjoy the varying cloud formations skimming over Goat Rock and Mount Climbie.  My real problem with such weather is my waterproof wellingtons are no longer totally watertight.  So much for fancy Hunter Wellies which seem to have run their course.
