I hate windy weather. It takes your breath away, and I don't have much to spare when I'm cycling - after all, I'm only tiny. Plus, I'm a Norfolk girl. In Norfolk the wind is simple. It comes from one direction at a time only and will blow straight through you rather than deviating. Either you're walking parallel to the wind, or you're shielded from in. In the city however, it's different. All those little roads and quads and things to eddy round means that you never know where it'll be coming from next. You're cycling up the road with the wind just to your right, blowing strong and your balance is all set for that, then you pass an opening to your left and a sudden gust can catch you off guard and you end up nearly blown into the traffic. I turn off roads expecting to move into the lee of the houses only to find that it's just as strong and still blowing straight at me even though I've turned 90 degrees. Ah well, at least it's blown the snow away. Roll on summer, that's what I say.

Me, I love blustery days, especially in autumn when the leaves are there to be swirled around. They feel...I don't know, energetic. They're just good. But then, I suppose I'm not Tiny. :)
