I got myself a second-hand Regatta jacket from eBay.
That's a proper outdoorsy walker kind of jacket and is properly waterproof.
I've only had it a couple of days but it's shaping up to be the best purchase of 2014. Big pats on my well protected back.
Floods are still big news here. They're spreading for a start.
We're so lucky not to be affected, in this town and in this house.
Large areas of the Thames Valley are underwater, as is most of the South-West it seems. And the rain is still falling from a relentlessly grey sky. Being warm and dry seems like a distant memory.
