I got a new car last week...a bright yellow VW Fox...I've never had a brand new car before so it was quite a big event for me...it's called Tweety because of the number plate and the fact that the colour reminds me of a canary...

Anyway...that's not the point of my blog...but it is always good to show off isn't it lol...

No...the point of my blog was to say...isn't the weather hideous at the moment...and isn't it horrible driving a little baby car when the winds are as bad as they are at present?

I drove from Bromsgrove to Llangynidr today in the rain and the wind and it was nasty to say the least. I felt on a few occasions like my car was going to be blown from one side of the motorway to the other. I spent the majority of the time with windscreen wipers on full feeling frustrated with not being able to drive as quick as I could.

Then I got on to the M50 by Tewkesbury and my thoughts were with the poor people who got flooded a few months ago. Lives just getting back into order for some of them and it starts raining again...nightmare...just outside Brecon when I eventually did get down many of the fields were flooded and there was deep water over a lot of the roads...I contemplated turning around and going straight home...however, in a moment of dryness I thought I may as well stay the night with my rents...

Sure enough as soon as I had drank sufficient wine to make it unsafe to drive the rain picked up again...and I am now just praying that the village won't be flooded in the morning and I will get to work on time...uggggh!

Bleeding British weather hey?
