So rumour has it the people of the UK and Ireland like to talk about the weather a lot. I would agree with this. When its sunny, its beautiful. Most of the time its not. I don’t want to whine on about it too much, ‘cos I’m going to the sun soon anyway.

The Guardian yesterday posed the question: Is summer over? It seems that already conkers have been spotted, as well as holly berries, its cold and wet and the shops are full of summer clothes. I am still undecided on this ’summer over’ thing, though correct me if I’m wrong, is it not always cold and wet here? And since when did we determine the seasons according to when shops bring in new stock?

Plants have been tricked into thinking winter is on the way because of record high temperatures in spring, followed by a dismal wet summer and cool conditions.

If this is true is spring now the new summer? Are all the seasons coming earlier? That was a great spring we had, and I’m still waiting for summer. It reminds me of a really bad movie, the one where you’re just waiting for something to happen and it never does; think War of the Worlds or Solaris.

I only got a chance to use my sun screen once.
