It is amazing that as a race, the Irish people rejoice at any sign of sunshine. Last week we were treated to the first good weather of the year and even though it is stll early in the year, people started hitting the beach. Although I cannot confess to being one of these brave beach-goers, I must admit that I too began to rejoice. Filled with plans and ideas for a sun soaked summer, I was brought back to earth with a thump this week, or at least by the steady banging of rain on my window.
The truth is, that however much we plan and hope for a glorious summer, we live in an unpredictable country with unpredictable weather. However when it is bad it can be very bad but when it is good it is brilliant. The below advert is for Discover Ireland and throughly shows what Ireland has to offer to its fullest extent:
As a nation we have learned to make the most of our good weather for the short time it lasts with Bulmers evenings, barbeques and beaches. I for one have started planning my sunny summer days already and to be honest I wouldn't have it any other way
You have to love those sunny summer evenings...enjoy them while they last.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for this summer. It doesn't have to be nice everyday just as long as we can fit in a few barbeques :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to the summer after reading this (even if we don't always have the best weather)
ReplyDeleteI know, I think it is that video that really puts me in the summer mood.
