while not quite "over the border" my husband was born in Doncaster. cold grey shit weather im used to lol. We have spend quite a bit of time around Northern England.
As long as you are safe and dry, i get the mild excitement over a storm. Hope the prosecco was enjoyed.
Oh yes, if you are familiar with the north of England shit weather then it is pretty much the same but with a bit more drizzle and cold!
The prosecco was top notch! :OD
