A nation drunk on sunshine could produce another baby boom

Apparently, we fancy a bit of sexual action much more in the sunshine than when the weather is chilly, writes Terry Prone

IT HASN’T been a bad long weekend so far, has it? Thirty percent higher attendance at the first day of Bloom, for one thing. For another, the possibility of a baby boom with numbers also increased by 30%, just nine months from now.

The first is pure good news. Lovely event, beautifully organised, with loads of flowers and gardens giving cover for the wicked minority of us who couldn’t care less about geraniums, but just want to see, taste and buy the plethora of food offerings.
