Wet. Wet. Wet..........

In conditions best described as monsoon like, 'The Raleigh' 8806 and I splashed our way round the Co. Down roads last night, and I enjoyed every second of it.
Now, in the past I might have briefly questioned my sanity whilst dreaming of a hot mug of Bovril, but now I was just savouring every drop of rain that fell on my helmet covered noggin.
I think it all stems (no pun intended) from coming out the other side of OHS and thus having a finer appreciation of the simple things in life.
Things like the rain, the wind, the bird's singing, good old fresh air and last but by no means least, the humble Kit Kat chocolate bar.
What I suppose amounts to life saving/changing surgery has the tendency to do that to a person, and things that seemed important beforehand just don't seem quite as important now.
There's a saying that 'life is for living' and it really is true.
If all this sounds a bit sentimental or has anyone reaching for the bucket that's ok and perhaps understandable, but alas I can make no apology, because as Bruce Hornsby would say.....
'that's just the way it is.'
