We want our summer back!
At the beginning of July it seemed that we were in
for a cracker of a summer. But it has been downhill since.
When we headed off for our summer holidays last
month it was at the end of a long hot spell. Sitting outside having lunch on the
Sunday before we left, the temperature was hitting 30C and, so, when we arrived
at our destination, it was like having more of the
same.
Arriving back in Kintore was a bit
of a shock however. Instead of 30C, the temperature was 13C and it was still
July. I do recall one time in July having been away and coming back to find
everyone brown as berries, saying the weather had been fantastic. This time
everyone was saying the weather was
terrible.
As the forecast is now talking
at least into twenties, let's hope we get an Indian summer. The kids will be
back in school, so that's another reason to expect it!
