Liquid Sunshine

For several weeks my umbrella has stayed firmly wrapped at the bottom of my baby bag, as the UK has basked in a mini heat wave; but when I woke this morning to monsoon like rain it was as if i had forgotten how to cope in such weather, How quickly I have forgotten that heat was not usual in the UK and sunny days and barney nights was not a normal British summer. 

A cloud had not only descended on my home down but also on my wellbeing. I trudged around the house as if the world was about to end! I needed to get a positive outlook on our weather. I looked to Pinterest for maybe some words of wisdom and looks that would transform my usual drowned rat wet weather look and maybe give me a brighter outlook on these oh so common dreary days.

I didn't have to look for long and I was overwhelmed with love for rain or 'Liquid Sunshine' many people had boards dedicated too it where they had beautiful images of rain following and gorgeous quotes. As I scrolled through I could feel my storm cloud lifting and a rainbow appear as I too fell under the spell of these beautiful images of a wet British Summer.

I began to think that if I was truly to embrace the liquid sunshine I must look the part and my research didn't disappoint all I began to feel was embarrassment or how I had allowed myself to look.

Classic but works!!

Also there is no excuse for our children either as this picture shows

So next time it rains I will be doning my wellies and my mac

And truly dance in the rain,
