The end of summer and rain in England.
A recent holiday back home to Australia ( http://www.takethefamily.com/features/long-haul-family-holidays-byron-bay-australia ) left
us cashless and marooned in Manchester for the long six weeks of school
holidays. One week - bare shoulders, properly warm and jubilant - I
bought a paddling pool for the kids. It was the last day of sun. All the
next week it rained and the grey blanket of sky wrapped us in a dreary
embrace.
