English weather indeed

Everybody warns you about the rain and the miserable weather in England and, being a witness of the very wet british weather the past two weeks, I do think that an umbrella or a jacket, an extra pair of shoes or, if possible, all three of the above, are some of the neccesities in an English lady's overgrown handbag. Because even though the sun is (kind of) shining this morning, doesn't mean that it won't be wet, cold and simply pouring this afternoon! Luckily, all Londoners still have there cosy, dry beds to sleep in, but all of Britain are not that lucky at the moment:

"A total of 227 separate flood warnings were in place in England, Scotland and Wales last night. Seven were severe flood warnings - the highest level of warning that advises people to prepare to evacuate. Northumberland was the area worst-hit by the weekend's flooding, with well over a month's rainfall in two days. In Morpeth, 900 homes had to be evacuated amid the worst flooding the area had seen since 1963." The Daily Telegraph, September 8.
