BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, Looks Like Rain

John Connell reflects on our changing relationship with rain.

As his infant son feels rain for the first time, John Connell reflects on Ireland's relationship with rain.

John Connell reflects on how rain has shaped Irish culture.   

'Over the centuries, the Irish - most days anyway - have learned to accept, sometimes even love, the rain,' writes John.    

But, he says, that is now beginning to change.
