Last weekend most of the country basked in warm May sunshine and beautiful blue skies. The sunshine is utterly uplifting; I'm quite convinced the mood of nation as a whole improves by around 65% when the thermometer inches above 20°C.
People are nicer and kinder to one another and much more relaxed (surely nothing to do with the correlating increase in beer sales). Here in London, the city glows in the evening dusk, the mouthwatering smell of evening BBQ smoke permeating the still-hot streets and Brockwell Park resembles a beach in the Balerics (hmmm... perhaps the aforementioned reference to increased beer sales has clouded my judgement).
