Whatever happened to summer?

It seems that over the last few days summer has departed and we are heading again toward autumn.

This morning I was woken by the familiar sound of rain beating against the window pane, wind rattling around the walls and a dismal grey light struggling to penetrate the low mist.

Nothing changed, it continued to rain all day, finally stopping in late afternoon! Ditto has spent the day miserably going alternatively from the window to the door, poking her nose out with some trepidation and immediately running back to the dry and safety of the windowsill.

The British weather is not renowned for it's predictability but here in Scotland it seems to be more erratic than I have known it anywhere else. Just a few days ago we were sweltering in temperatures well into the eighties....tonight I have the heating turned on yet again!

There is no beautiful red sunset, no lilac sky and no moonrise today, instead a solid a wall of cloud lines the horizon.

Sounds a lot like recent weather here in this part of Canada.
