Contrary to Public Opinion...

...The sun does occasionally shine in jolly old England.  This summer, for instance, I can count several examples of warm -- nay, HOT -- days.  And by several I mean two or three.  No wait!  I believe we experienced the fourth just this week.  Not that I'm complaining.  Britain is a dream come true for a heliophobe like me.  But as evidence that the 'sign and semblance' of summer does occur, I am posting a few photos from an outdoor pub lunch some weeks ago.

Bring out the shades!

 Slather on the sunscreen!

Summer is here!

And now it's gone...
