dreich- a combination of dull, overcast, drizzly, cold, misty
and miserable weather.
Here in Britain we are somewhat fixated by
the weather. The clichés are endless and you know that a conversation isn’t
going anywhere when it turns to the climate, and yet this post is going to be
just about that- weather. I’m usually all for the weather in Britain, we get
ridiculously excited when the sun shines and everybody flocks to the nearest
beer garden, pubs sell out of cider and there are entirely too many pasty beer
bellies on show. Despite this I am here to say: Mother Nature will you please
get a grip, it’s July and I am having to stuff my soggy shoes with newspaper.

Tonight I had to cancel plans because I couldn’t find a way to navigate the
flooded roads, what is this madness? In July I would like to be peeling myself
off of leather seats outside and consuming my bodyweight in ice cream please.
The rain is currently at the point where if you stood outside for five seconds
you would get wetter than if you jumped in a swimming pool fully clothed, and
that’s pretty wet. Now, does anyone going to a sunnier clime happen to have
space in their suitcase?
