Well it is not quite as bad as this, but never let the truth get in the way of a blog entry. Oh photography and truth there is a murky bog into which I don’t want to stray. But it is the way I feel about this appalling spring.
You read the papers and you would think we are just about to return to the dark ages as there is only 2 days reserve of gas in the country – well actually what is happening is that the ‘cheap’ gas that comes from Qatar may be used up before the next shipment arrives at Milford Haven and we might have to use the more expensive Norwegian product which comes direct from the North Sea by pipeline. Now there is an interesting question – why is it cheaper to ship liquified methane have way around the world than get it from our next door neighbours? I’m rambling again.
The weather. At least it has stopped snowing, well sleeting, but it is just cold and grey and even the spring bulbs don’t seem to want to appear and cheer us all up. Still could be worse, we could live in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan or be part of the majority of the world’s population who actually have concerns such as will I survive for another day rather than moan about the weather.
Sometimes it is difficult to see the wood for the trees.
