For some reason we seem to have lost summer within a week of it starting. Temperatures have dropped by ten degrees and it’s raining. At this rate I expect snow in July.

It would be good if it calmed the "Argh it’s global warming we’re all gonna die" crowd down a bit, but they just mutter about climate change rather than warming now which seems something of a handy escape clause. 

On reflection, apart from the rain it isn’t bad. Sun and I do not get on, and a bit of greyness will keep the annoying dawdling tourists and idiot bikers away for a little longer. My only complaint is that it’s lousy for photography.
