I’m mad about the amount of sun England has.

1. When the sun’s out, every single other person in the UK decides to do the exact same thing you decided to do, at the exact same time.
2. People wear short skirts and short shorts that really just shouldn’t
3. You can only be happy with the sunshine ‘in the moment’… you cannot plan. Once a BBQ or day to the park is planned, the weather will change.
4. You can’t pack your winter clothes away. At some point soon, you will need that thick sweater or that thick pair of socks.
5. Every single outdoor space is packed to the gilt
6. If you try to do anything summery, it just ends up feeling like a Brit’s Abroad Tenerife holiday. Or something equally as awful
7. Your tan that you’re nicely topping up will disappear in two day’s time when the grey sky and concrete slabs of dullness come back
8. Sunshine is bittersweet. It will soon leave and you will feel empty and used.
9. English people complain. SERIOUSLY! They complain that it isn’t sunny, and then as soon as it’s warmer than 20 degrees, they complain that it’s too hot. TOO HOT! And too sunny! This is stupid.
10. All winter long you wait for the sunshine to come back and the hot days to wash over you. Mid June you realise it never happens – why do you always expect it?
11. You take 5 days off for Bank Holiday weekend; it is grey and cold every single day. The day you go back to work it is 27 degrees and sunny.
12. Every summer will be the same. You think it will be different, but it will be the same.
13. You pay way too much for way too little. My garden is a courtyard that would laughably be called a gutter to some in the world.
14. I'm having a baby so I can't spend money on going somewhere I can forget about the greys, whites and dullness of the sky here. I want to go away so I can forget it and come back and love it again. As of right now, I'm mad at it.
