He's hopefully behind the worst of it - it was dreadful here in mid-Essex early doors, but since mid-morning, the rain has moved North/North-Eastt-wards and is just lightly spotting here now and even getting brighter (to the extent that I'm considering a ride over lunchtime, and I'm a colossal wuss about getting out on the bike at the moment).
Go Steve! Stay dry, or at least dry-ish!
