Having lived in Scotland for a few years now, I have learned to appreciate the many types of rain the British weather has to offer.
From gentle drizzle, to horizontal rain, large drops running down my jacket, and wet toes when I fail to avoid a puddle while out and about, hiking on the hills, or simply walking the dog.
Naturally, this little fondness for drizzle, rain and other puddles translated into a sock: an ode to the wet British weather.
