Rainy days & Mondays

The lead story on the BBC website is the dismal weather.  As the country gets a battering from rain and wind, the stats are being gathered: 80mph winds, blocked roads, power cuts, flood warnings... the news rooms relish weather-based hysteria.  I can't help feeling smug:  A year ago today I was getting married and the sun shone.  Our big day was bathed in a golden glow and the daffodils danced in the Spring breeze.  What were we thinking having our wedding in early March in a cottage at the end of a mud-track?  Could've been a mucky affair.  During the build-up, clicking refresh on the BBC weather website became my pre-wedding OCD.
