Oh what a wild and very wet day  today.  Went to Cwm Idwal this morning which I always seem to do when I'm here.  Misty had a paddle in Llyn Idwal so she was happy.  We didn't quite get back to the car before the rain came.   Lots of gusty wind about, its been a long time since I've been out in wind like that.  The rain cleared for a couple of hours so stopped off in a few lay-bys on the way back to the cottage, for more walking.  The clouds had lifted and Snowdon was in view.  Raining again now and very windy, the cottage is rattling.
