Summer is coming. Sounds much better than “Winter is coming”, right? Unless you have heard this for weeks already, and nothing shows up. A few nicer days here and there, entombed in sheets of rain, fog and hard wind.
But it is always a pleasure to go out in one of those dry downpours, if only for a few hours.
It has been a while since I last blogged about anything. Usually, at this time of the year, there are all kinds of new things to see and enjoy. This year? Not so much.
Or perhaps it’s just me getting impatient with the weather.
Time flies, whether you’re having fun or not. It has been a whole year since I was on vacation, and there is no sign of the next one yet.
The past year has been filled with all kinds of events, each of them could warrant another vacation, but visibly, that’s not in the stars right now. In some cases, I felt like those decapitated palm trees.
This is the second time (only) that I have written about Winter Wonderland. Some people can’t get enough of the white white world and would like that to continue for as long as possible.
May I suggest moving to the Arctic and leaving some warmer weather for the rest of us?
Nope, not the candies. I don’t eat that kind of stuff if I can avoid it. This stands for Mersey and Medway, two rivers close to my home.
The Mersey, in the back of my house was used for shipbuilding until 1962. In that year, the fixed bridge was installed in 1962, probably a while after the last ship-building activities had ceased.
