British weather lovelier than our own it seems

THE skies over Leicester in England during our stay were as blue as the skies over La Gomera in the Canary Islands which we had just left.

There was the predictable but welcoming refrain from my son and his partner: “You’ve brought the good weather with you!”.

And indeed it was not only good, but glorious, during our days here in this small city with strong sunlight until late every evening and temperatures of 13 degrees.
