Sock it to you

We have a windsock in the garden. A multi-coloured one. It's great because not only is it pleasant to see it fluttering in the breeze but I can tell how windy it is and from which direction it blows. I then know how many layers or hats to put on when I venture out.

Today: breezy, bit dull, wind from south-east: jacket needed and umbrella.
