Game Over?

Scorchio? Not in the UK!

"Game over man, game over! Summer is spiralling away and I've only used the barbecue once so far!", said William Paxton earlier. And I can understand his concern - the summer solstice is over and the longest day of 2012 has passed us by. We've only had one really nice day so far.

So what is happening to our weather? Is this the beginning of the so called 'End of Times'? Are we heading for Armageddon? Who knows, but recently news broke that the 'End of the World' date had been cancelled, so that seems very positive and good news.

Every cloud has a silver lining ... or so the saying goes. So what is the silver lining? Well the weekend ahead looks gloomy - rain is forecast throughout. We're wet already so a little more rain won't harm, and anyway it's a good excuse to take the kids to the new exhibition at Satrosphere! And to add to the optimism the week ahead is forecast to start well with a sunny Monday.

Some might say that t his is not a good news story but a bleak story about the horrible weather we are currently enduring. But we should celebrate the fact that we live in the northern he fantastic variety of weather we experience in this country and look forward to an excellent summer ahead. It always gets better after the summer solstice - just wait an see.

"Game over"? Not yet, it isn't!
