The other stereotype is that the weather is uniform throughout
the UK. It's not. We have just had a gorgeous weekend with
plenty of sunshine and only a few spots of drizzle this evening.
It was a tad windy some of the time, admittedly.
It must be particularly gloomy this winter.
Not here it isn't.
Your days are super short (it gets dark real early)
Ah, but just think of the long summer evenings when it stays
light until after 10 o'clock!
it is frequently overcast and there is no
snow on the ground to brighten up the landscape.
True. But only 'frequently', not 'always'.

Yes, Anne, the long summer days must be nice. It's always pleasant to
have a lot of time after supper to be outside during the summer.
I'm used to stereotypes too. People tend to think that it is always
cold in Canada. I lived in America for many years and when people
learned that I am from Canada, out popped the ignorant weather
comments.
