My 1km westbound, uphill walk after taking littl'un to school was somewhat challenging, this morning. Itook the side of the road with fewer trees, but unfortunately, there's a junction that always funnels the wind on that side. It was all I could do to stay upright and the rain was quite painful.

This was rather pretty, though. Shame I couldn't get a better shot  - was impossible to hold my phone still. I pointed it out to littl'un:
Me: Look at that rainbow! Red, orange, yellow...
Littl'un: BROWN!



There's trees down in Darlo and Ferryhill and on the great North Road - I expect the last one is going to cause havoc with bus services.

And husband avoided the A19 to work - ended up stuck near the Trimdons while police cleared horses from the road!
