It's raining, it's pouring

It seems that our summer is over in London as we've had torrential downpours thisweek! It feels autumnal as temperatures have dropped and the wind has picked up. Yesterday, I saw a poor cyclist absolutely soaked to the bone. Luckily I haven't left my brolly anywhere, otherwise I'd be in the same boat!   When I get home, I'm going to warm up with a nice, hot bath.
