Well we’ve arrived in the worse summer they’ve seen in ages...it ain’t half rained...A fireman died trying to rescue a woman who was swept away in her car in the floods, we’ve driven the usual route to school, to find roads closed due to flooding.
I think we’ve acclimatised now though, we are sleeping under the feather duvet, wearing socks and a jumper in the early mornings and when it goes dark, however you can tell we are still new here, we are all red on our shoulders, necks, faces and in particular Alex’s nose.
The only trouble we’re having with the weather is getting our heads around the fact it is February, it is summer, it is 30c and the next season is autumn.
