Wintry Showers

As promised by the weather man we have sleety showers driven on a stiff breeze this morning.

My walk down into Peel from the car park up the hill was not a pleasant one but I am volunteering at the Wildlife Trust shop today so wrapped up in a thick, padded coat, hood up and gloves and boots. I'm glad that I no longer need to wear glasses as I would have needed windscreen wipers.

I think the rain is easing off now. This is the view from the shop  doorway.

Not looking forward to the walk back up the hill later.

  1. Spring showers. How nice...I would say if it rained here.
    Keep your waterproofs and wellies handy. But I guess you do all through the year

  3. Sounds like you were making a fashion statement as you minced your way down from the car park. Were there any members of the paparazzi around?

  4. Today has been misty rain all day, we are just about fed up with it now.
    I'm waiting for the right day to tidy up the garden.
