It's as much about light up here as anything else.

Went out this morning, sweater and coat, temp: 10C. Lunch time sweltering as it reached 20C. Back home this evening, put extra socks back on, under 10C again, howling gale and rain. Welcome to summer 2013!

That gave me a smile to start this sunny morning, B.
The meteo tells me this afternoon will reach 27C - "Blimey", I say to Mr. B. - it must be Summer!!

grin Appreciated Bags. Not just for your poem as always but because I too have been pondering on the fact that I've shed 4 layers of clothes in 48 hours and will still be wearing bedsocks tonight.

Gully streaks of snow remain
Now the hills are dark where rain
Has washed away winter's white.
Pond refilled and overflowing.

Taste of autumn in my snack:
A bread roll with cheese
And hedgerow jam,
Made by a friend from wild berries.

And summer has begun,
I know, because all day
I have had warm feet.
