The last entry about England I complained about the drought. That has changed in the last few weeks, there is now often wet gray November weather. Although, even with some rain, for the ground we will still be in a drought for a few months (if average rainfall falls). But, thanks to southerly currents, it’s still quite warm, usually above 12°C. This makes cycling quite comfortable in the rain. My fellow cyclists didn’t see it that way, but I was in the mood to do something good for myself and so I set off on my own. After 30 minutes the worst of the rain was over and I was able to pack away my rain jacket 1.5 hours later. In the distance I even saw blue sky, but had no hope of reaching it. I found the variations in the clouds very nice to look at. It doesn’t come across so well in the panorama, but I uploaded it anyway.


There was one more downpour before I got home in glorious sunshine.
