raining and getting windy here in Central Scotland. We've had a great run of weather so it had to break sometime

[Justmuddlingalong]

Drizzling here on the east coast of Scotland. Was a bit breezy earlier but dead calm now. The air has that weird, earthy smell you get when you get rain after a dry spell.
