Doesn't the wet leather saddle leave a nasty stain on your clothes if you wear such a light coloured skirt or pants? I found that velvet or other fabrics quickly show wear or imprints of any saddle...
I love riding my Dutch bike when the weather is wet... The Internal gear hub, full chain case and front hub generator make the wetest weahter fun... Oh, and of course along with my English cycling rain cape... The only problem - it never rains enough...
You are an setting a great example. When people ask me what happens when it rains, I tell them I get wet. During the hot summer months I like riding in the rain. I have been caught by both hail and thunder storms.
Nice and encouraging video, for those who hesitate to ride in the rain. But, as you said, with a few simple precautions, it can be both safe and fun. Please be careful and enjoy !

@NecessaryKnowledge - I've never had any problem with my Brooks saddles. I have rain covers but I don't always remember to use them.

Good on you!
I love riding in the rain. If anything, there are fewer pedestrians and most cars tend to drive slower in the city.
