Is it just co-incidence that the banking crisis/credit crunch hit hard during the seeminly longest winter in modern memory? I think it probably is seeing as parts of america get great weather all year round (oh except when we're in florida in june expecting wall to wall sunshine and get days and days of rain - we're from ireland for goodness sake what's the craic with that nonsense) but today it feels like anything is possible - not just cos the sun's out but because - dare I say it - there's warmth sneaking out and about for the first time in what feels like a millenia. Can't give up the ugg boots just yet, but do feel the polo necks could give way to t shirt and my summer staple the cardi. Phew it must be hot!
I'm hoping that the clement weather will stifle the media obsession with doom and gloom and be replaced by berrating us about our lack of green credentials, our massive footprints and support this with photos of northerners on the beach in nothing more than thongs and flipflops (well it is in the mid teens you know).
There's nothing better than living in the uk during spring - really absolutely nothing (and that comes from someone for whom spring means having to listen to her mother max lyrical about wild flowers and bird species so I don't say it lightly). Now the all we have to do is trick our summer into thinking that this is really australia then we've cracked it.
Pimms anyone? Is that Cliff Richard I see over there?
