Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?...





Rain; mist; wind; drizzle and general dreariness sums up the weather of late, but there is one thing missing that distinguishes all this from a typical English summer's day: the cold. At the time of writing temperatures on the south coast have yet to come close to freezing this winter. Cold conditions have been trying to envelop the UK from Scandinavia for a while now, but weather systems to the west have kept them firmly over mainland Europe. At least for the time being, anyway. I was joking about it being similar to an English day during the summer months, but to be honest I have experienced worse in July on occasion.

The fact that winter has not really shown its claws yet is confusing nature to some extent, with daffodils coming up earlier than usual and crocus already flowering in a local park. I had intended to get some photographs as evidence but the grey light kept them firmly closed today.
