It's cleared up a bit in Manchester at the moment, still pretty dull and cloudy but we've got a bit of a reprieve from the rain, probably until I step outside to go to the shop :)
miserable in Essex too..... M25 havoc with the Dartford Bridge (aka QEII bridge) currently closed due to high winds, causing misery on the A13 and roads thereabouts.
They had to open one of the tunnels for traffic heading towards Kent, misery for those travelling home in the rushhour tonight !
