Driving and weather in the UK!

So driving....it's obvioiusly different, but I had no idea what I was in for. I'm glad that everything is in MPH, but that's about the only thing the same as the states.
The roads around here are not what I expected. They are mostly 2 lane country roads, there aren't shoulders anywhere, and they are windy and bumpy. Except in residential areas where the speed limit is 30, it's 60mph on all the crazy roads. The first time I ventured off base I was scared to death, but it's pretty easy to pick up. I'm going to have to adjust to going so fast on such little roads, cause everyone was passing me (you can pretty much pass every where). I used the GPS, cause street signs are usually hard to see, and it was one less thing to worry about. Aiden said it felt like the train, he was having a blast in the back, while I had white nuckles clenching the steering wheel.

The weather is quite different too. Over the course of a few hours it's go from sunny and warm (well 65 is warm) to a thunderstorm with hail, then sunny again, then some more rain, then cloudy without rain back to a thunderstorm. It's impossible to dress for the day and be done. We've already learned to layer up, always carry an umbrella, and play outside while it's sunny, cause it won't last. The first week here was more sunny than rainy, which we liked, and it's been random since. Aiden keeps asking why it's raining again.
