The sun came out on Saturday.
So people came out on Saturday. In huge numbers.
They staggered, shielding their eyes, wondering what that great globe of light in the sky could possibly be. They wanted the sort of things which mean the winter is over - cream teas, ice cream, cold drinks. They wanted to sit in the garden.
By the end of Saturday I had a headache which lasted into Sunday. I had not endured the burst of warmth. I had failed to drink any drinks let alone cold ones. I have learned a valuable lesson.
On Wednesday this week the forecasters are promising temperatures in the twenties. The fans are already uncovered and ready to go. The ice cream freezer and drinks fridge are full.
It feels like we’re starting the season all over again.
