The Weather

[Eric the Half a Bee]

Since October, cloudy, raining, cool, incessant cold wind. Probably less than a handful of bright, sunny days. Forecast to be the same for the next week, that's up to the 6th of May. I know the memory can play tricks, but in all honesty I've never experienced such depressing weather. Despite our cool temperate climate we've always had the odd few days, perhaps a week, of cheerful weather over autumn, winter and spring. Moan over.

I think it's been one of the mildest winters on record. Have we had any snow? I can only remember one sprinkle in the valleys and quite a bit in the Beacons one weekend but that's been it. Like you say, there's been little change to our weather, other than minor variations in temperature and amount of rain.
