A momentary lapse...

...in a generally horrible day.
After a night spent listening to the gale force winds tear through the woods again we awoke to a swollen beck and waterlogged garden. Spring it seems is on pause.
Bravely Cat & I ventured out for lunch - in the hundred or so metres I was able to walk back to the car we got soaked to the skin. Home & dried off I ventured down to the office to catch up on work. Sat with my back to the french doors it took a while to realise the rain had stopped pelting and the wind seems to have died down.
I often go on about the need to pause & look around when I'm instructing out in the hills - today the same was true sat at my desk.
