A Last Blast Of Summer

Climate Change means that Mother Nature takes what is already in the offing and ramps it up so you get stronger hurricanes, heavier rain and hotter summers although the last one doesn't seem to apply in Great Britain because apart from a few days in June, our Summer was not a scorcher.
Not that i am complaining that i wasn't waking up with my pillow stuck to my face or getting third degree burns from the car seats, i am quite happy with a summer where i am not getting sunburn within 30 seconds of stepping outside the front door although i did get the annual insect bites so still spent weeks smelling of Calamine Lotion.
So off we head now into the -ber months with a stop off at Halloween and Bonfire Night before we dive headlong into Christmas but don't go putting away those shorts and strappy summer tops just yet because the MET Office has announced that Summer isn't done with us entirely as next week is going to see a 'sharp hot spell' and are advising us to 'wear a hat and some sun cream' with temperatures hitting 30C in the South of England which is where i am currently sat in my cardigan.
The next week is obviously going to be the last chance to blast out Mungo Jerry, sit outside batting away stingy things and deciding whether to wear socks with the sandals as the season of white legs and men in shorts that are far too tight comes slamming to an end for the Northern Hemisphere and it's looking up the date the Christmas Channels start on TV (I looked already and they are Great! Movies Christmas on 24 September, Hallmark Christmas October 22 and Christmas24, October 24).
