Rain really bad atm, I am about 20 miles from Wilmslow. At the moment it isn't soaking into the ground though - about half an hour the rain stopped last night the ground was as dry as anything. Right now it is really slippy though.
Now started with the thunder and lightning. Just peeped my head outseide and you can't see more than a couple of feet in front of you. Not what you probably want tohear, but at leat you'll be well prepared!!
I'm about 6 miles away from Wilmslow. Looked at our jumping field tonight and the ground has softened up a bit (it's been raining all week) but it was quite slippery on top, and cutting up pretty easily.
