A gorgeous day

The sun is out and spring is definitely making her presence felt here in the West Country. Some of the blossoms are out and the air has a freshness and a still quality that I associate with this most enchanting of seasons.

I am not certain about the whole global warming hype and/or swindle but this last winter was decidedly mild to say the least. But I think too many people who are not exactly scientifically minded are jumping on the lefty bandwagon and proclaiming we’re all going to fry.

Some such team of would-be experts, or should I call them zealots? was recently engaged in traversing a stretch of the Arctic to highlight the cause of Global Warmering. After a day or two they had to abandon the PR-trek because they nearly froze to death in the bitterly cold circumstances. In a press briefing the hapless team expressed their amazement at the cold temperatures on the North Pole; surely with all this globbal wurming it should be balmy with a nice Mediterranean sun by now?

I’ll just enjoy this spring and the following summer and forget about everything else. Well, almost that is..
