Into the deluge

After a week of, nearly, perfect weather in the Highlands we travelled back to England.

After a, mostly, midge free fortnight we were eaten alive in the woods beside Loch Lomond as we ate our sandwiches.

Then we ran into the rain, here we are 15 miles from Corbridge in the flood, the road just passable. The police, soggily, waving one car at a time through the growing flood. We were a bit late.
