It usually happens that when I get a day off from work we get nothing but rain, but today was different, it has been lovely and sunny, the perfect day off!

So I made the most of it and headed up to Llandudno for some time in the sunshine, stopping off in BHS (British Home Store) for a cappuccino before heading into the town to join with the rest of what seemed to be the retired community pottering around the streets.

So the clocks went forward an hour and it was the start of British Summer Time and as usual for us in the UK we had a gorgeous day, but, for the last two days we have had nothing but rain, it’s even raining now as I type, it’s just so miserable.

What makes it worse is we have had a prediction of snow! Has all the weather gone mad, I can just imagine what the summer will be like this year, a couple of days of nice sunshine followed by rain, high winds and probably more snow….

Now don’t get me wrong I don’t mind a bit of rain, but it just never seems to go, I remember when I was a child the summer school holidays were great, playing out till the late hours in the sunshine, paddling in the blow up paddling pool and enjoying the lovely hot sunny weather. Now-a-days kids seem to be stuck indoors because it raining so much, they can’t go out and then all they do is stick themselves in front of the TV and just become very anti-social….

My how things have changed!
