This month BBC Surrey Breakfast co-host, James Cannon, prays for the rain, rain to go away and gets stuck into some DIY
OH thank goodness the days are getting longer and the signs of spring are showing across our county. Over the past weeks I have had my fill of muddy walks as the days have drawn in. Every morning on BBC Surrey Breakfast we speak live on-air to one of our colleagues at the BBC weather centre. Often there is the warning of a heavy shower ‘around lunchtime’ and for some reason since the beginning of the year each of those showers has appeared to find me whilst out walking the dog. Frankly I’ve had enough. I’m sick of the muddy paths.
