Illustration Friday - Fresh
The topic 'Fresh' this week reminded me of how my father always describes the weather - no matter how grim it is!
'Fresh' always meant cold & windy to me; to him this wet 'n windy scene would just be 'Fresh', just blowing the cobwebs away, perfect for a stroll or a bike ride! ahh yes, many a holiday in the damp (but beautiful) Lake District where the rest of the family would be huddling & dragging feet just to get to the next English Pub, where dad would be 20 yards ahead going, "c'mon it's just round the next bend - just a bit of fresh weather thats all!"

Nice Idea. Beautiful story you have shared, I used to like the sensation feeling of wind kissing my face too.
