So when was summer?

The rain came down in a non-sequential pattern. Muting as it had for centuries as it beat on the cobblestone streets below. It was intermittent. It was cold. And while it was still hours away from dawn it kept the robbers that frequented the alleys and back roads at bay. Not so much because one as unscrupulous as them feared the rain. But rather, because there were no marks to be had at this hour and in this weather. Weather Londoners had long got used to, be they Easterners or highbrow subjects of the royalty.

A short story I wrote and published, in condensed form, on EP.

It think It tells a take perfectly.IF, one knows the inspiration. As his is a tale that was never told.

I have an ex brother in law from Guisley so I fully endorse your statement about British complaining about the weather

We've had some pretty good weather the past three weeks where I've been in the UK. Maybe we'll get an Indian summer.

@Elandra77 I am now curious, please tell me what this passage is from?

I'm in Arizona. It's been over 100 F for over a month.

Haaaaaaa I live in Louisiana 95 and humid everyday in summer. ..gotta love it

thats what drives us away to sunnier climes

Considering the way a recent vote went, I don't think .uk is going to see summer for a very long time
