Remember..

[Glow worm]

The first swallows have already been spotted trickling into Southern Europe on their way north. The Gibraltar bird obs. Centre had been reporting swallows for nearly a month now.

So summer is one the way, I only hope it won't be as crap as last year !

I said goodbye to summers when I moved to the east coast of Scotland in 1994.

Remembering summer
By Jessenia L.

how fast the season changed
I can still feel the warmth from on top
of the fire escape
Do you remember?
It was the day you told me this is
where you wanted to be.
There on top, just you and me.
It was the day we shared our first
kiss.
The moment that felt so right
it was a hot summer day but it felt as
blissful as night.
wish I could relive that summer for the
rest of my life.
What great times we had.
Days where we would talk and walk for
hours.
A little world just for us.
As the seasons changed we’ve changed
But I’m always remembering

That's beautiful...

I saw a man riding a bike today. He had all the right cycling gear on and a posh road bike, so summer must be on the way.

Not everywhere! Last year we waited .... and waited ..... it never arrived . The previous summer was a bit of a non-event as well.

The modern weather pattern for the north west of these isles appears to be:
January/February - constant storms with a rare cold, dry snap for a few days.
March/April - a cold and sunny week or two, but wet and breezy for the most part.
May/June/July/August - milder but wet, with the odd day or two of traditional warm sunny weather.
September/October - talk of an Indian summer which never materialises. More rain with perhaps a short sunny period.
November/December - surprisingly mild, but the price to pay is another period of constant Atlantic low pressure systems bringing wind and rain.

Cycling as a mainstream method of transportation?

That's what you get for trying to leave the UK

We thought if we left the UK, we could join the Caribbean!

I can't wait for summer. I have already ordered all my new summer clothing
