It felt very Autumnal this morning on the ride in to the office.
Is it just me?
I am an early starter, out the house around 7, so it could be I am just noticing the days shortening, but it was quite "Fresh" this morning.

    No no no, you're so wrong

    It's still spring - summer is just around the corner.

    (blind optimism or rank stupidity, you decide)

    I felt it last week on the only downhill fastish stretch on my communte. I really felt the need for gloves. It was cold and very wet. Its like we only get two seasons now.

    Look on the bright side....

    It's only 19 weeks until the winter solstice and (as long as I slaughter the goat and make the correct offerings) the days start to get longer again.......

    Not quite sure who is accredited with this, but someone once said
    "The British year consists of 4 months of winter, and eight months of bad weather" :D

    I booked this week off work for my summer break, albeit at home. Looking at the weather for the next 4 days I'm seeing heavy rain predicted every day. I had a week off back in February and it was better than that!! Good luck on your commutes, and remember your waterproofs!

    Yeah but February was the bets February ever. Ah, I remember those days. Barbecues, beach volleyball and sunbathing until it got dark. At 4pm.

    Good weather for potatos.

    I've been using my rear light more often than I'd like to recently, and I 'm thinking about recovering the front light from the missus who's currently using it for a reading light.

    but not for my tomatoes !

    definitely getting darker earlier and a bit chilly, but no autumn doesn't seem any earlier this year. imo

    Look on the bright side - come mid Jan / Feb you'd give your right arm for temperatures like this...

    I don't care what season it is, I got wet feet this morning, then when I arrived at my destination it stopped raining... :evil:
    It's just a hill. Get over it.
