I don't know what it is about rain in January but somehow it's British weather at its bleakest. I took these photos from the top of a Park and Ride bus on the way into Oxford this morning. The view was not exactly promising but there is a strange, bleak beauty in the combination of rain, traffic and condensation.
The weather has been like this most of the day but just to counter the wintry grey here are some irrepressible spots of colour to cheer the soul (not from the Park and Ride bus this time!)

I love your rain pictures! I think your blog is beautiful and I LOVE the name! I think I'm more along the lines of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle (I just hope I'm not self-deceived and am really like Jemima Puddleduck!). Keep writing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comment. You did make me smile with your allusion to Jemima Puddleduck! Mrs Tittlemouse has her moments of gullibility too - allowing bees to take up lodging in her "nice clean house"!
