Summer in the UK

So, you ask me what I think of my first summer in the UK? Interresting, apparently this is not the way it is supposed to be. There should be rain, but not this much. So, there were some flooding in England, some hard rain here, but however it came, I enjoyed every minute of it. Before we left SA, some folks said that we will become depressed because of the rain and weather, but coming to think of it, apart from the fact that I like the rain and extreme weather, I remember so many people in SA being depressed about the drought. It is nice to hear though, that there was much snow in areas in SA, where you would never ecpect that.
What else, the other night, we headed home, after visiting folks close to Dundee. It was 12 at night, you would expect it to be dark and see lots of stars. Looking north, you could see that the sun wasn't too fr beyond that horison. It wasn't completely dark, more like it looks about 45 minutes before getting light. Not to mention the fact that the sun sets around 10 pm these days.
You can imagine how strange it is to go to bed when it is stil light outside. So maybe it is not necesary for me to mention that we seldom go to bed before 11 or 12 at night. What an interresting experience.

This week is the start of our family camp at Killberry, which goes until next Friday, i will take lots of pictures. C u then.
