VERY APT 'APP' CONSIDERING CURRENT BRIGG WEATHER

The Met Office today announced that half-a-million folk have now downloaded its Weather "app" so they can get the latest updates on their mobile phones. 
Brigg folk will be among those who have done so.
'Changeable' might be an apt term for the weather in Brigg over the past few days - heavy showers, brighter spells and a bit of sun from time to time. 
We got a bit of a soaking last night while walking home from the bus station in Cary Lane.
Hands up who can remember being given the honour of checking the temperature and rainfall collected by the Stevenson Screen at Brigg County Primary School years ago?
This was a job for trusted pupils, the screen having pride of place in the centre of the courtyard at the front, facing onto Glebe Road, with classrooms on three sides.

This may be the age of the weather "app" but Stevenson Screens are still going strong, having been invented in the 19th century by the father of rewnowned author Robert Louis Stevenson.
