Wooly hats and flip flops.

What is it with the British and the weather?
If you have nothing to say, talk about the weather is the general rule, so here goes!


A 'mini March heatwave' has caused a stir amongst the nation this week...warm weather, in March, in Britain? My goodness we must all immediately start wearing shorts and flip-flops. But then of course some people get really confused and can't quite decide between their winter and summer wardrobe and end up with a bizarre woolly hat, scarf and hot-pants combination.

As we were all marvelling over heavy snow fall only a month ago, the warm weather was welcomed whole heartedly by Britain. However, the Sun plays tricks on the mind, as was demonstrated by the thousands of people that rushed to seaside resorts on the east coast of England last weekend. As beach-goers galloped into the sea, the sun bearing down on their faces, they forgot it was only weak march sunshine attempting to warm the sea, and therefore it was likely to be freezing!

My mum is very British in her way of blaming everything on the weather. Every illness, emotion, stroke of luck, or act of terrorism; it must be the weather. It never fails to make me smile.
