Have I missed something?

I don't know if I am the only one, but I thought we were meant to be in spring. According to my recently revamped wardrobe and newly up dated make up it is meant to ! Yet I look outside and I am sure I am in the middle of winter! My skin resembles a lightly frostbitten look, my hands and lips are chapped. What has happened ? Did the UK get towed to the north pole when no one was looking, or has the world slipped on its axis?

I am fed up of reading that the UK is colder than Lapland or the base of Everest. It is purely depressing. Especially when this news is accompanied with the news of farmers losing their livestock under the snow drifts. Granted we in the London area haven't got much to complain about except the freezing temperatures ( made ten times worse if like us your boiler is no longer working). But on top of all the cuts our wonderful government is inflicting us with, it is making the first quarter of 2013 tiresome and exhausting.

To top it off today is my mum's 71st birthday and never in her living memory has she had snow for her birthday. Yet guess what yep we have snow! In April no less. Now I like my winters cold and my summers hot, with spring and autumn being their necessary weather temperatures. But this is a joke I have  photo of the area in the last two weeks when I went on a trip to Sussex and as you will see it looks more like Christmas card than the week for Easter.

So whilst my summer skirt has just arrived by courier I am busy painting my nail with snowflakes AGAIN.
