One thing I love about living in the UK is the variations of weather, drought is all over the news, yet here we sit being lashed by wind and rain. Weather like this at night is brilliant, as I am a night owl, I sat and listened to it, feeling cosy and warm as I was writing in the early hours, then I lay in bed feeling even even more so.

It reminds me of many a day, forced to stay inside drinking tea and eating toast up in Scotland where I was fortunate enough to be able to watch the sea being churned up whilst clouds flew across the sky, after a couple of days, the storm passed and left us with beautiful, clean air  - these are the simple pleasures I never take for granted. I do however send out my sympathies to those having to work outside in it, I do appreciate how lucky I am today working from home!

Here are two photos taken last September when I was in Scotland during a hurricane – during, and after!
