Storm? What storm?

I am now officially free of all church related duties until 24th August after a day chained to the computer doing the organist/ general church admin prep Future Me will be grateful for.. And I celebrated by hurtling out of the door early this morning onto a train taking me North. On a Storm day when almost all train companies, it seemed, had given up or were about to give up going north of my destination. 

Not that the picture I managed to get as we went north of Durham gives any indication of stormy weather. It has been pretty blowy since I arrived at my friends' home.
