VFR = Visual Flight Rules - the rules you follow when you get your PPL but haven't passed the instrument rating.
Basically VFR says you can't fly through or into any conditions (clouds, rain, mist, fog...) that prevents you from safely flying where your eyes are the only way of avoiding 'stuff' - other aircraft, radio masts, inconveniently sited tall building, high ground... In the UK there are two qualifications after the PPL - the instrument rating which allows you to fly during the day in such conditions (assuming you have enough instruments in the aircraft to do so safely) and the night rating which allows you to... well you can probably work that one out for yourself!
