Welcome home

Since moving back to Scotland a little more than a year ago, the weather has seemed relatively kind. During all of Alison's visits it has been almost scarily pleasant, so that she thinks the damp Scottish climate is a myth. The last two days, however, have consisted almost entirely of rain. Persistent, heavy, stair-rods of wetness falling from a grey sky. It makes me nostalgic for family holidays. And wet, unfortunately (I need a new waterproof).
