Norwich skipped Spring and went straight to Summer

Yes friends, I was watching this weather pattern because I thought that Spring was here... but it appears what has really happened is that we have skipped the spring bit and went straight to summer as the sun has really come out. For the past week the sun was out in all its glory and it is getting hot! Do you guys remember that tree from one of my first posts? Well in 2 days...I kid you not...all the leaves came out! It was May 3rd and 4th and believe me it was amazing. One day there were no leaves and the next day there was! Oh the wonders of God's universe! Day 2

Day 1

Well I must tell you that with the change in weather there has also been a change in the mode of the native's wardrobe and decorum around here. Everywhere I look people are wearing shorts, sleaveless tops, short skirts and what I describe as the 'dreaded flip flops'. I mean men women and children are wearing slippers... everyday and to everyplace. It is frightening! I do not think I need to describe the scene any further just picture it for yourself. The other thing that has started is real sunbathing. It is amazing to see students just sitting out in the middle of the lawns all around campus and studying with as little clothes as they dare to wear. As for me, yes the place is warmer but it is really only as cool as Mandeville and you know how we Jamaicans complain how that is cold! The problem now is that I never did bring any clothes for this kind of weather so as it gets warmer I have less and less clothes available. You see the dilemma! Well I will be home soon, so I will make do until then.
