Indifferent Seasons

[rebness]

Today, I wore my winter coat with the big fluffy hood thing for work, with boots, pants and a warm jumper. The rain was pelting, the sky grey and dark, the wind howling.

Seriously, June... WTF?

I hope and pray the weather is nicer in Cardiff the Sunday after next. It'll be just after the Longest Day, and I'm not looking forward to darkening nights, dammit. Unfortunately, all -- yes, all of my memories of trips to Wales seem to feature the colour grey and the liquid rain a lot in them. Feh.

I will never forget my first trip to England (Southern England, no less), when I arrived in the middle of JULY to find Summer had decided to skip that year's visit and it was chilly enough that all outdoor tea was cancelled and I had to wear a wool cable-knit turtleneck sweater all week. I hadn't brought a coat... because it was JULY! Course I had a wonderful, wonderful time, but I was pretty amazed.

What drives me mad is that up there, above the clouds, the skies are deep blue, the heat is strong... it's just this perpetual grey cloud that shrouds the island. The second you go across the channel, the clouds clear.

(That said, your climate would probably be too much for me. We English are never happy...)

I don't like the climate here either. Eventually it's going to drive me back north.
