Strange Times

Last night we put our heating on for the winter. Although that might not sound like the most fascinating piece of information you've ever heard, it's actually a month later then I would normally do that. October in Farnborough has been very mild! I'm not sure whether it's what the experts call "global warming" but the weather in England seems to be different from when I was a child. In those days we had four distinct seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. We just don't seem to get that any more. Where have the frosts gone? Even today as I look out of the window there is bright sunshine. These are strange times weather wise!
