Hi Britain,

Good news! It has been raining for three days now, and shows no sign of stopping. I know you might not think this is a reason for celebrating but fires are being dampened, dams are re-filling and green is coming back in parks and gardens.

Another thing that it has done is make me feel less homesick. It has reminded me of what it is like back home for most of the year, cold, rainy and, worst of all, grey. Here it is a change, a novelty (for now, lets see what winter brings) but the thought of it being the norm is really quite depressing.

So, I'll enjoy it for now as an excuse to sleep in, stay indoors and watch crap TV. But for two-thirds of the year? No thanks!

I hope your days are currently filled with sunshine.

Love,
JC
