Here’s a short video from today, the calm before an impending storm here in the UK. This one meteorological rather than political for a change. We thought we’d get out to one of our favourite places and got kitted out with thermoses or should that be thermosie of hot soup. The light was every bit as good as the light in LA! It’s just that we don’t get it every day, so we treat it as a treat. Soup was good, walk was great. A good outing all round.

We have been told there’s a red weather warning for tonight and tomorrow in this area so we’ll be staying put till it blows over.
