I know we don't normally do Sunday weather, but I need to vent.
Started off beautiful in Pittenweem this morning - sunny but cool and breezy.
Got to the Kelpies in Falkirk as it was clouding over, and it started to rain. Assuming it was just a shower (albeit a heavy one) we went for a coffee, but it didn't ease off.
From Falkirk to Tebay it was a damned monsoon. I've left fingerprints in the steering wheel from gripping it so tightly. Didn't stop idiots with no lights on hurling past in excess of the actual speed limit (let alone the safe limit for the conditions).
At Tebay the queue for the car park stretched up to within a few metres of the M6. There was space to park (though the services themselves were crowded), so I can only assume it was because somebody was dicking about parked in the middle waiting for a parking space near the door.
Luckily, after Tebay the rain eased and eventually stopped. At Chester the actual sun made an appearance!
Aaaaaaand breathe.
