The awful January weather has seamlessly slipped into awful February weather. As I write this the wind and rain are hammering against the windows - again. We have 100 kph winds and 25mm of rain forecast for tonight ....
On Saturday we went to La Baule to watch the France-England rugby match in a bar with the hockey club. Many fields were flooded on the way and the salt marshes looked like lakes (normally they just look like fields with reeds growing in them - I only know they are salt marshes from looking at the map). After we had just missed out 24-26 on another year's bragging rights the television switched to news coverage of the weather; from Biarritz through Bayonne, Aquitaine and into Bretagne the pictures looked almost the same as the ones we had been watching the evening before from Cornwall, Somerset, Wales and Scotland.
There are many historical links between the Atlantic coasts of Britain, Ireland and France. They are all linked by suffering from the same terrible weather as well this winter.
