Let's Talk about the Weather



People in England love to talk about the weather.  It's one of those British stereotypes that is just SO true (FYI the stereotype about their teeth is less true).  But to be honest, when it comes to British weather, there isn't much to talk about.  The weather in England is pretty much like the people here.  It's got a stiff upper lip and it never reveals much raw emotion.  Maybe I'm a bit of a Midwestern drama queen but I like my weather a little more extreme.  I like my snowstorms in the winter, and my cracking lightning and thunder with down pours of rain in the summer.  In England the weather is just so moderate *yawn*.  No natural disasters around here!

Anyways everyone across the globe seems to be bragging about spring lately, how the temperature is perfect and its sunny and beautiful.  Well we had one good spring day this weekend, but it's back to ever so ordinary grey skies and slightly chilly temperatures for now.  Fingers crossed we'll get more brag-worthy weather soon, but here are some pictures of spring in the English countryside.  Hope you like them!

  7. I love all these pretty pictures. In Arizona we have extreme thunderstorms. & I love it. You literally have never seen a thunderstorm until you see one in Arizona. But it's really the only extreme weather I can handle. We felt the aftershocks of a California earthquake last week and that was too much for me even. Anyway, hope you get pretty spring weather though. :) xx

  8. haha under violet - if you like england, but don't like rain, then how on Earth can you like England??? All it does here is rain! All the time!

    Thanks everyone for saying I take nice pictures. I'm a cheater though. I just bought a fancy camera I cant afford and I use it like a point and shoot.

    Angela I've lived in England since July. We just moved to the country from London when my husband got a new job. I like it better here than London.
