While the weather is nice at the moment, for the last day of June, it is not what I would call a properly summer when we can really enjoy the benefits and even the pitfalls of the sun like in so many other countries. If this is global warming than the UK is getting a rough deal as our weather has turned wet rather than sun. I think for myself and so many others, sunshine is connected to so many happy memories and this is probably why we crave it so much, prepared to travel hundreds or thousands of miles for the change of getting sone.

I hope the rest of the summer months actually produces something which may resemble a summer although I am sadly doubtful.
