A beautiful ending to a rubbish summer
The heat-wave spreading over the UK the past week brings a brilliant and unexpected close to our somewhat disappointing summer. Contrary to recent reports of early snow set for October, we can relax and bask in the sun.It’s not just sun-worshippers who are enjoying the benefits either. Apparently supermarkets are stocking up on burger baps and rosé wine to keep up with eager shoppers who are jumping in their cars in the pursuit of items for the barbeque.
The supermarkets may be onto something as temperatures are predicted to rise as high as 28 degrees Celsius on Saturday, which will give workers with the weekend off the opportunity to dig out their summer clothes again.
Even flowers have been making the most of the sunshine by blooming for the second time in a year – experts believe that they have been fooled into thinking spring has already returned!
It is thought that thousands of Brits will be driving down to the beach over the weekend to make the most of the glorious rays, and I am definitely considering joining in. Now, if only my car was a convertible!
