We passed this river swollen by earlier rain…
… Today Janet walked extra miles, so as to have some in hand when more bad weather comes in a day or two. In this way, we hope she can still get to John o’Groats by the deadline on Monday.
The weather has caused power cuts and phone problems in this area, and shut down several railways in the Highlands. It was good to hear that the people of Whaley Bridge have gone home, though.
How can we thank you, Creator,
for the weather,
when it can be so uncomfortable,
so dangerous?
But is part of the whole system
that sustains life.
Give us the love
to care for our planet.
