Where art thou summer......

You spend so long wishing and waiting, counting down the months until you can feel your toes starting defrost and secretly dreading getting your white pins out but looking forward to it all the same...... then before you know it, summer is over in a flash and the dreaded winter months are upon us once again.

I'm sure it's all psychological but it just feels like winter lasts forever and then we get about three weeks of sunshine before being delved into Vitamin D deficiency again....and is it just me, or does it feel like it's getting colder alot earlier this year? I'm sure last year I didn't actually turn my heating on until November but I've already had it on three times and it's only the beginning of October!

Gone is the morning sunshine, warm weather permitting lunches al-fresco & pleasant journeys home from work - instead now we have pitch black darkness in the morning, cold winds with grey skies and almost pitch black evening journeys home (which will change to total pitch black after the clocks go back next week....)

As I'm getting my scarf, gloves, hat & winter coat ready for another cold spell I am already thinking, 'where oh where has the summer gone' the same as every year that has come to pass!
