After several days of dire warnings Storm Bert* is here. Nothing too bad in Settle though. A very modest amount of snow followed by lots and lots of rain and a sudden rise in temperature as southerly winds blew in strongly. Autumn and winter sort of rolled together. First picture illustrates rainy darkness at just half past four in the afternoon of Saturday 23rd November, The next two show spectacular low speed skid marks from our lovely new car being driven away over what appeared to be harmless rain-drenched slush. The car ended up sideways on to the boundary fence having slid down the modest slope sideways. Fortunately not a scratch.
* Who names these storms? Bert hardly does justice to the event.
