Amazing pictures Alan, the brilliant blue sky obviously a complete contrast to how it was earlier I would imagine. I must admit I've always been in awe of the power of the weather.

The Beeb have news from Scotland on the floods there too..
BBC News - Flooding follows wettest November day on record

The worst part about this is that it seems there is more to come

Due to the heavy rain on Sunday, the cyclepath that I use for going work and back was flooded. Like a fool, I decided to cycle through the water, must of been 2' - 6" deep, I did'nt dare stop pedelling incase I went in sidewards. It was ruddy cold too, anyway, I lived to tell the tale.
