In keeping with the continuing bizarre weather patterns across our country (and indeed the world), today is predicted to break the high temperature record. As it is only a month until the summer solstice, the sun rose way before I did, so by the time I had my shower, it had warmed the spring air. Now, a word of warning, dear gentle readers - don't allow your imaginations to run wild when you read about what I did next! I decided to savour this beautiful morning au naturale. Greeting the welcoming sun's light, it felt good to say good-bye to our long, cold spring. All my senses rejoiced - I felt the warmth on my skin, and the gentle breeze playing over me. I saw the brilliant blue of the sky, the greens of grass and leaves, the pale pinks of the apple blossoms. I smelled the sweet scent of the cut grass, and the freshness of the dew. I heard the swallows chatting as they swooped and scooped their breakfast, a myriad of other birds noisily beginning their day, the occasional buzzing as a bee bumbled by. I know it will soon be much hotter than I like, but I'll remember my morning.
