April days don't get much better than this one. A perfectly blue sky and temperatures well into the 20s; it is hard to imagine those frozen days just prior to Christmas. The air is also very clear and invigorating. This photograph shows my 'fixie' resting on lane not far from Caerwys.

I have one tiny gripe about the way we Brits respond to this sublime weather and I blame the weather men and women. Each forecast I have seen over the last few days has said - more or less - 'nice day in prospect but enjoy it as it won't last'. Of course it won't last; we live in a climate dominated by the great Atlantic ocean and our weather is naturally variable.
This kind of weather pessimism spreads to the ordinary folk: in the garden centre earlier (lots of people there as the weather was fine) I heard friends meet each other with the usual observation of it being sunny and warm, but then predictably one said: 'they say it won't last'.
Good comment, think you should start a 'half full, as opposed to half empty' syndrome! or even just simply ENJOY the days perfection - we certainly have.
ReplyDeleteAlong the same lines is the one:'I hope this won't be our summer...'
