A fond farewell
In message , oops writes
Farewell to the summer which never happened
Spring did not end until at least the middle of June
Autumn began at the end of July
True the warm days were very warm but most of them were accompanied by
a stiff breeze or showers.
A record breaking summer then - perhaps for being the shortest on record.
Today. Full cloud cover, Strong winds. Looks like rain.
Where do you live? Here in SE England it's been a lovely day today, and
the summer as a whole hasn't been too bad. Yes, there have been some wet
spells (June in particular being poor), but also quite a lot of fine
weather, and three brief very hot spells which I personally could have
done without. For once Wimbledon and Glastonbury both had fine weather,
though the cricket World Cup and Tests have been less fortunate.
