Over the last 24 hours we have had the first significant rain here for months, and I was out driving in it this morning. The car felt particularly skittish, so much so that on my return, despite the rain, I checked my tyre pressures. The were all spot on. I know that roads are slippy after the first rain for a spell, but they felt exceptionally so today. Perhaps I have just got used to the grip of warm dry tarmac!
