This time last year we were remembering Storm Amy and looking forward to meeting Storm Benjamin. Oh, how time flies! 😄
So far this year we have no storm warning imminent - so that's an improvement, isn't it? But we have rain forecast for today. ☹️
On the other hand, we have beautiful autumnal changes all around us - so let's enjoy the moments. 🍁🍂
When the weather is changeable, make sure you always have a good book to escape into.
"Good news!" - We can help you with that. 😀 👇
Your local library is open on Mondays from 1:00pm until 6:00pm 👍👏👏
