I absolutely LOVE rain!

I love that misty rain that gets you soaked to the skin in seconds.

I love that great big ploppy rain you get during a thunderstorm.

I love the drip drop rain of a spring shower.

I love the torrential downpours that come on a summers day, seemingly out of knowhere.

Fun fact, torrential rain makes my endorphins sky-rocket, I have been known to absolutely piss myself laughing when I get caught out in a downpour.

I often take my 6 year old for a dance in the rain, in my arms, faces to the heavens, just dancing and laughing and singing until we are soaked to the bone, then we run giggling back inside.

I splash in puddles with or without my kids with me haha

I love the frosty mornings of Autumn and winter, the way the grass crunches underfoot and the spider webs sparkle like they've been touched by the frost fae, all bedazzled with frozen dew diamonds.

I love the snow, the way it makes any day brighter, happier, like putting a duvet on the world, all seems calm and quiet and safe.

I love the springtime where you know you'll need a raincoat, a sun hat and a wool coat all within an hour of each other and the flowers just pop out of knowhere and everywhere all at once.

I love our summers, the bright high sun in the sky heating my neck as I potter in the garden, the slight scorched look of the grass and trees, just begging for the next downpour to parch their thirsty roots.

We truly are so lucky, we dont get super cold, or super hot or any extreme weather, its just... simply... wonderful.

The ONLY weather I dont like is blanket grey.

The way the grey concrete meets the grey sky makes it feel oppressive and sad, like a great depression has fallen on the world with no end in sight. My heart hurts on grey days, like i'll never be happy again (sounds dramatic, but true nonetheless)

However... everyone I talk to is always complaining "Ugh, its too hot", "its too cold", "its too wet", "its too dry"... am I really just an oddball? (Its fine if I am haha im happy dancing in the rain)

Or do other people really genuinely love our weather here too?
