I set off towards the town in light drizzle, but it soon became quite heavy and blustery. The river is quite high, but not overflowing yet. This little backwater is flooded and the swans were enjoying the extra swimming areas.
Apparently walking in or after rain is good for boosting your immune system!
A very gloomy sight except for the Swans - they seem to be enjoying the weather ! Perhaps I should plod in the rain more often ! - need a booster from somewhere !!!!!
WOW that's quite a picture and I'm amused/amazed at the 'walking in/after the rain' being good for your immune system!! I don't mind it in warmer weather but will try to remember this info!!
A simular scene everywhere, lots of water at the moment. As for rain boosting the immune system, some years ago there was a winter Dalesbus from York to Wharfedale, and I went walking almost every weekend, in rain, ice, snow, strong winds etc, and I had less illness that winter than ever before or since.
