I had more problems when I lived near London with the pollution. There are still triggers here of course, the sea air blows a lot of it away! Wish I could bottle some (with our wind to blow away the dust!). Hmmm I'd make a fortune ;-)Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-72048324863925941332012-11-26T21:39:45.238+00:002012-11-26T21:39:45.238+00:00Yes feeling much better now thanks!

As a fellow asthmatic, used to colds descending on my chest, I truly sympathise. <br /><br />We've had a lot of rain here in Mid-Wales, but nothing like the worst-affected areas. Can there be any left up there?Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-90104605590526069412012-11-25T06:02:41.703+00:002012-11-25T06:02:41.703+00:00hope you are better,i also got a cold, a small war...hope you are better,i also got a cold, a small war around me and 3 grandchilds finding shelter in my house.floods seems to me very scary too.Yaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181961536405061470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-63712110259883001672012-11-24T20:42:00.624+00:002012-11-24T20:42:00.624+00:00Colds can make you feel really rotten, so I hope y...Colds can make you feel really rotten, so I hope you feel better now. Weatherwise, perhaps we got the storm that you didn't - it has been horrendous in this part of the Midlands and the floods are some of the worst I've seen - the water looks like liquid chocolate! I did some photos and put them on my blog, but the light was very bad, and they are not very good.Christine Hardinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814026435889782750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-52940366875974859032012-11-24T19:06:57.591+00:002012-11-24T19:06:57.591+00:00As I have asthma, I can certainly relate.

I'm wheezing and sneezing here and have been for months. The cotton harvesting and ginning here fills the air with dust, plant particles, and cotton particles -- all of it coated with one "-cide" or another. It starts in September and usually goes on till the end of December. I could use a heaping helping of sea air right about now.
