I think I saw it!  I think saw that golden orb in the sky – radiating light, warming the earth, sending birds into a frenzy of nest building, tempting the buds on the trees to burst into bloom.

With that tiny chink of sunlight, Britons up and down the country tore their clothes from their bodies (despite the temperature only just creeping into double figures), donned their sunglasses, ran for their BBQs and hoped for a prolonged spell of bright, warm weather!  Alas, no sooner had the flip flops had time to flip and flop than the sky returned to its familiar dull grey.  We are left wondering, was that just a figment of our imagination? Then we reach for the bottle of vitamin D.
