Am I the only one who inwardly groans on hearing that we are in for a long hot summer?
I get that its nice to have light, longer days and be able to go out without a coat and use the garden etc.
But it's a faff with all the sunscreen and the shade for the kids and you get tired and fed up in the heat more often than not, and if you don't have aircon your house is a horrid heat trap, being as how British houses tend to be built to retain heat.
Also, in hot countries the people that actually live there tend to avoid the heat if they can. Mad dogs and Englishmen eh?
I wish I lived somewhere where you get really cold winters and mild temperate summers.
Pah! Stupid hottest April on record.
