After our chat the other day I thought you all might like proof that I do go out in the rain. I admit there have not been many walks when I have got caught in a torrential downpour but I frequently walk in drizzle and light showers. There are even the odd days when I deliberately go out in heavy rain. The waterproofs make all the difference; that’s a rain hat with wide brim, a brightly coloured (for visibility) raincoat that has the option for zipping in a fleece on those cold wet days, good walking boots and most importantly overtrousers.
It may not be evident from my expression but walking in bad weather is good for me. So if you can why not join me walking in the rain, the snow or the wind before Squares ends next week. It’s a great way to rediscover your inner child, specially if you have full waterproofs on because then you can play in the puddles too, but don’t try puddle jumping backwards!

Interesting article that you linked to. Different smells for sure but thst it is actually does stuff for us. Cool. As to walking backwards maybe I will try it on our tiny sidewalk but definitely not on a pasture trail or a gravel road. Bernie

I know it is amazing isn’t it – and yes wise decision on the backwards option!

I’m glad you mentioned the waterproofs, because in your photo the other day, putting one foot in front of the other, I was sure I spied waterproof pants. So sensible.

you did indeed 😀 and they really are. Had them on this morning, wasn’t that wet but meant I wasn’t worried about all the mud splashing up as I walked!

We call them puddle pants, so the wearer can jump in puddles without any repercussions.

We have a saying “There is no bad weather there is only bad clothing.” Therefore, with waterproof clothes you can go for a walk when it is wet. But still it is just so much nicer when the weather is good.

Good for you, Becky. It’s difficult to walk in the rain here as we have so little so I’ll pretend I was walking with you. 😉

A good outfit can make all the difference on a walk. I got wet yesterday, but not from rain. There was a big swell crashing ashore and spray was blowing everywhere. Here’s mine today: https://grahamsisland.com/2022/11/26/orange-fungi/
