Whats the weather like near you?

Blue skies this morning and very mild. Winter has yet to make an appearance yet here in Sweden. 

 

So glad we're not in Devon anymore though. My friend's rain gauge (just down the road from our old house) has recorded 28 days out of the last 29 of rain, totalling just over 180mm. 

 

Poor bastards! 😄

If he’s a native, he’ll be plenty experienced to cope with it.

 

Apparently in-comers have been known to struggle a bit with the concept though. 😄

Strange ain’t it, moving from East Anglia to the Staffordshire Moorlands and the weather has changed. The lanes are similar though.

Devonshire roads are intensionally steep, narrow, winding and often below the level of surrounding land.

 

This is to channel all the water into a suitably impressive raging torrent.

I see, similar to being up on the Moor where all water runs down to the valley.

Very much.

 

But then a large proportion of Devon is moor.

He's from East Anglia, so about as dry as the UK gets.
