Wet and wild

■ The most alive I feel is on top of a hill, with the wind blowing a gale and rain in the air. Pure mindfulness. They should bottle it! Karen Hayes

■ Weather is just weather. If we’re prepared for it with proper clothes, shoes and mental state, we can do anything. As my grandmother used to say, “We’re not made from sugar, we won’t melt in the rain.” Naomi De Vries

■ There’s nothing happier than the feeling you get when you’ve changed into dry clothes and are having a hot cup of tea to warm up after getting drenched in the rain. Charlotte Katherine
