\nThe rain has a bad reputation for ruining our fun, but this season, we\u2019re looking at reasons to love the rain, and a few colourful pieces which will help you to make the most of stormy weather…<\/p>\n

1.\tSplashing in puddles!<\/h3>\n

Who doesn\u2019t like embracing their inner child and going for a stomp in the puddles? If you have a little one, it\u2019s a great excuse to don your own wellies and have a good splash about!<\/p>\n

2.\tThe rain waters our gardens.<\/h3>\n

Put your watering cans away for another day, the rain\u2019s here to lend a helping hand and ensure our gardens are looking bright and beautiful when the sun does show its face!<\/p>\n

3.\tYou get to wear cute clothes.<\/h3>\n

When else is it acceptable to wear matching wellies and waterproofs? Pairing a beautiful bright mac with a pair of glossy wellies is the perfect antidote to a grey day. Check out Barbour\u2019s Weather Comfort collection<\/a> for the ultimate in colourful jackets!<\/p>\n

4.\tYou can pretend you\u2019re in a movie or music video.<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t pretend you\u2019ve never done it! Our top choices are \u2018Why Does It Always Rain On Me?\u2019 by Travis, \u2018Purple Rain\u2019 by Prince and \u2018Set Fire to the Rain\u2019 by Adele \u2013 ideal for creating an epic music video, even if it is only in your head.<\/p>\n

5.\tSave the laundry for another day!<\/h3>\n

The rain is a perfect excuse to put chores like laundry, putting the bins out, and mowing the lawn on hold! Result.<\/p>\n

6.\tRainbows<\/h3>\n

Everyone loves seeing a rainbow, right? We can\u2019t have rainbows without a quick shower, so bring on the rain!<\/p>\n

7.\tFinally \u2013 festivals are better when you can dance in the rain!<\/h3>\n

The atmosphere is just so much better when the rain is pouring, your wellies are caked in mud and your favourite band is playing \u2013 and getting muddy is what festivals are all about, right?<\/p>\n
