People from warmer countries must wonder why we bother with the concept of “spring” in England… that period between winter and summer, when the weather careers madly between rain, wind, snow, more rain and occasional sunny spells. The English spring, and especially the month of April, is perfectly demonstrated by the BBC Weather Centre‘s forecast for my area this week…
Monday: Light rain
Tuesday: Sunny intervals
Wednesday: Heavy rain
Thursday: Light showers
Friday: Hail
But that’s doesn’t tell the whole story. When so much of the season is dominated by variations on the basic theme of “water falling from the sky”, the glisteningly bright and warm days are just *so* welcome.
