6th Jan 2014: Just before the heavens opened… Again
It was my first day back at work today after the Christmas break and I’m pleased to say that I managed to grab a 30 minute walkabout at lunchtime – in between the gales and heavy downpours. There was even this gorgeous bit of sun that I found!

1st Jan 2014: Dancing in the rain
This is Day 1 of a 30 Day Post-a-Healthy-Picture challenge 🙂
Son: The sky doesn’t look very good outside.
Mum: Yes – sunny but cloudy.
Son: Sun and rain always makes a rainbow! And there’s treasure at the end of rainbows. Have you ever seen the treasure mum? Have you got a picture?
Mum: No I haven’t.
Son: Yeah, the rainbow always moves – it goes away before you get to it to find the treasure. Some people at my school say , if you get too close to a rainbow, it moves to a different country!
D: Do you know why today is going to be a happy day?
Me: Why?
D: Because, the sun is out and when I blink my eyes I see a happy face behind my eyelids – two eyes there and a big smile. So it’s going to be a happy day.
Me: That’s good.
D: …But then, do you know why it might not be a happy day?
Me: Oh, why?
D: Just LOOK at those BIG rain clouds. So it might not be a nice day… But maybe it will be a happy day this morning, when the sun’s out, and then a sad day this afternoon when it’s rainy.
Me: It won’t a sad day this afternoon – you’ve got Art Club!
D: But it will rain at play time! The rain clouds might think, “We should go away.” Or they might think, “We should get some water down there so they can live.” So there’s two choices.
Me: What did you talk about at school today?
D: What’s our favourite weather.
Me: And what’s YOUR favourite weather?
D: Snow… No… Sun.
Me: Why’s that?
D: Because when it’s sunny you get all toasted and you don’t need the heating on. What’s your favourite weather?
Me: I like a bit of snow sometimes and I like a bit of sun sometimes. I don’t much like rain though.
D: No, I don’t like rain. What’s your favourite year?
Me: Do you mean time of year?
D: Yes.
Me: I like ALL of the seasons – they all have something to offer – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. Although I don’t much like it when leaves fall off the trees in Autumn and ALL decide to fall into our garden.
D: Do you want to know my favourite season?
Me: Go on.
D: Summer – because it NEVER rains in Summer. It’s sunny EVERY day.
Me: It rains sometimes in Summer – what would happen to all the plants if it didn’t rain?
D: Yes – they’d die…
