We returned to the UK last weekend after our first winter visit to PP. Whilst it was cooler than we anticipated we did have 2 weeks of virtually wall-to-wall sunshine. It seems to have been non-stop rain and wind since, with today's webcam views being the worst this week.

Not even the ducks like it!!!. Very wild today.

I think the drought is over ;).

Well, Old PP certainly took one hell of a beating yesterday. Can't remember seeing one like that for years.
Still, in these days of equality, it's only fair we should share it about a bit. A reminder to all those folk that live there what you are missing in old Blighty. ;)

what a mess the storm has made of the beach - that will take some clearing up:eek:

I think this shows how much rain we have had :-
