So... not the best timed stroll perhaps,
Lured by the hazy late sun for a second outing (greedy takes a fall indeed) and on it was with the jacket and shoes and forward off into an inspiring deluge of hail and rain.
Visual excitement augmented free of charge by police and ambulance zooming past in a blur of blue and vicious white.
When it gets, uh, weathery is when the valley really remembers that it is a valley and looms with new and sudden granite force whilst farmhouses, not so very far off, are suddenly light years away and the cheery winking windows turn into a distant glitter of cold stars.
Beautiful of course.
And i was lucky, even with the comedy timing that saw the stormy burst decay just as i was about home, because i got to see the great close clouds turn into fast waving purpled ribbons and smell the chimney smoke from the nearest houses and the hundred other newly fresh scents of my locale.
Milking it? i may be, but - sodden clothes and sniffy nose aside - it was worth it.
