English Weather...

... I love it! Changeable, unpredictable and totally English! Here we are in the middle of a drought, with washing cars, filling pools and watering the garden bans and it's been raining, as well as blowing a gale, for the last three days! Wicked! Well it is still May, so not officially summer yet, and the land / reservoirs here certainly need it. Hopefully of course it's the 'right' type of rain as there is the wrong type you see... something about it not soaking in etc.
Another reason for loving this weather is that it's cool! Not a hot temperature type myself (spent three months in the Middle East with the average temp 45 degrees celsius and wilted like a kiwi rose). And yet another, is that it reminds me quite a lot of NZ! Where you can have sun, rain, snow, gales, rainbows and incredible sunsets all in the one day! Even had a day when it was beautifully sunny, not a cloud to be seen, and it suddenly pours with rain, kiwi land eh?!
