Whoever it was who said that walking together in the rain was a fun and romantic thing to do obviously did so on a nice bright sunny day with scattered showers and no wind.
We went out this morning, and it was coming down at about a half an inch an hour.
On our way home, it was raining at about four times that rate, and a 30mph northerly wind didn't help. So the only romantic thing we had to fall back on was ... umm ... getting out of those wet clothes.
