January 1st – Welcome to 2014. So far, this year, the weather has been 100% wet…

Sorry for the repetition, but when I went out in the evening (having sadly foregone the traditional New Year’s Day ride on the Chase due to the poor weather), it was still raining hard. I was wet. It was horrible. Every interesting photo meant the camera lens getting covered in raindrops. It was, to say the least, challenging.

The sodden loading bay at Aldi, Brownhills, was an interesting mix of textures and colours, and the lights of the canal side and Humphries House rarely disappoint.

Dejected at not finding better subjects, I rode home. Hopefully, we can shut the door on this windy wet weather soon…
