For us in the far north, this has been the year without
a summer.

Agreed! Spring and autumn have both been better than summer, which was
rather a non event. Not bad weather here in Aberdeenshire, but not
terribly good, either.

Today, on Royal Deeside, the sun has been blazing down all morning.
Absolutely glorious outside. Now waiting to see what effect, if any, El
Nino has on our weather this coming winter.
