The most depressing August

The UK is famous for bad weather, lots of rain, low temperatures and bored families trying to fill in time, when they go on a British Summer Holiday.
However in the last few years, London has been warmer in the summer and sunnier, the leaves turned yellow in late October.
Sadly this year has been dismal. In June the tennis fans of the world watched endless hours of old matches on their TV screens because it rained some much. It was cold, dark, we have thunder and lightening as poor Rafael Nadal took days to finish one match.
Sadly for those of us that live in SW London, the weather has not improved that much.
We had some sunny days but we have seen thousands of people loss their homes and businesses across the country due to floods.
On July 2oth, it was so dark that the street lights were on at 11am, the rain so severe that deep floods swamped South West London. A local church has spent a year renovating their church hall with better wheel church access, improved facilities and ready to be unveiled in September until after days and days of rain flooded through the roof and from the wooded bank next to it.

This summer we have had terrorist threats in London, Foot and Mouth returned and teenagers murdering people on our streets. And the 10th Anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales means that we have endless retrospectives on her live on television...
And August has so got cold and dark, my grandmother put on her electric heater and a jumper last week.
