After having a good winter (I've been told) and a lovely May (I was here to experience that) the last four or five days have been cold, dreich, wet, misty and windy. This morning I have my central heating on - yet again. My only complaint is about people telling me how beautiful the weather is.
Our jasmine flowers Rain down in showers. The honeysuckle bush has flopped. This heat for me And the bumblebee Means the buzz of normal work has stopped.
I live with my husband in Devizes in Wiltshire where I spend my time writing, reading, riding (I am the lucky owner of a beautiful horse, Blue), and keeping up with my four children and an increasing number of small grandchildren (eight so far). I was for many years a nurse and a Relate counsellor. I have taught creative writing both at a local college and a prison, and I review a wide variety of items - including books - for the Amazon Vine programme.I write to death row prisoners in America, being a life-long opponent jof the death penalty. And I spend too much time blogging..

ReplyDeleteI love the word dreich, GB! I haven't heard it before.
Delete(Don't envy us. I'd almost rather be cold than be kept awake all night by the heat!)
I'm not complaining!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying not to, Maggie...
DeleteToo hot for me. I'm dreaming of rain - cool, wet, refreshing rain. So long as it only comes during the night, of course.
ReplyDeleteRain at night is good. I like that.
