Pelted rain all morning, easing to spots and spats by the afternoon driven on a strong, unfriendly wind which side-swiped us all the way up the road and was ridiculously cold considering it was a westerly. In the woods the trees thrashed about, creaking and squeaking as they rocked backwards and forwards, the sound of the wind in the branches like an angry sea, drowning out all other sounds.

Patches of blue in the sky, the occasional burst of sunshine, the rain still spitting at us - could almost have been April Showers....except for that wind, which continued battering us all the way back, past singing gates and keening telephone wires until we arrived home, windswept indeed - and very satisfied. :)
