apart from the weather.
First, at the start of December, it snowed.
After the snow, it froze for about a fortnight.
Then it was back to normal with rain.
Now in February, the wind is blowing a little more strongly than usual.
This isn't supposed to happen until the first week in March.
You have to understand that the weather if which I write is extraordinarily ordinary-there is nothing like the stuff the Queensland inhabitants have been having to cope with.
No, this is far more genteel- typical English Winter weather- it help to pass the time.
To gain a better insight into the English Psyche may I recommend that you try to watch three films made by Lindsay Anderson, these are: 'If', 'Oh Lucky Man!' and 'Britannia Hospital'.
These are excellent representations of what it is to be English.
