Robin's Diary

In today's age of advanced meteorological technology, weather warnings have become an ever-present part of our daily lives. Each morning, we are bombarded with forecasts detailing the wind, rain, cold, and even the occasional heatwave. However, you can’t help but question whether we truly need a weather forecast to inform us that it's cold, especially in a country like England where chilly temperatures are the norm in Winter. Do we really need to be told to stay warm? After all, here in Yorkshire, wearing an extra layer of clothing, putting on a hat and gloves, or even donning thermals has become second nature to us.

I think instead we should just embrace the cold, revel in the beauty of frosty mornings and accept that in the grand tapestry of British weather, unpredictability is the only constant!

As we bid farewell to one year and usher in the next, may the weather—be it sunny, raining, snowing, or typical of the changeable British climate—serve as a backdrop to a Happy and Healthy New Year for all. May each day be an opportunity to navigate the diverse weather patterns with resilience and a sense of wonder, embracing the unique charm that each season brings to our lives.

“Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” John Ruskin
