Well apparently it has been raining nearly every day including heavy showers and floods since 12 Dec

I know we shouldn’t moan as here in London we have been pretty lucky compared to people in Somerset and Wales in terms of the extreme rain, however, when you see sites like this on East Finchley High Road it makes you wonder

This was the scene at around 2pm today in East Finchley just after a very heavy shower that I got caught in whilst over Cherry Tree woods with Dextor.  It seems that every day I have to come home and put cat litter in my boots to dry them out and hang up my waterproofs in the bathroom to drip ready for the next day

Still, I guess I should be grateful that it is not snow although I would prefer it to be cold, crisp and clear like winter days are suppose to be

.Maybe March will bring some dryer but colder weather and nice sunny winter days that we can all enjoy and give those poor people in Dorset a rest bite to start clearing up the damage although they say it will take 9 months before they can move back in properly
