Hurrah! Another Bank Holiday is in sight. And we all know what that means. A lovely long weekend followed by a pleasingly short working week. I can picture it now...the walks, the picnics, the lazy afternoons and the barbeques in the garden. In fact, I’m imagining anything that makes the most of the rare three day weekend; anything that embraces the early summer weather that we’ve been experiencing of late.
Cue my quick glance out the window.
Oh...it appears the sun has disappeared as quickly as it arrived. The grey clouds have rolled in and have completely covered any sign of sunshine. There isn’t even a sneaky splodge of blue peeping through the breaks in the clouds – probably because there are no breaks in the clouds. The sky has become a mish mash of dirty greys and whites, much like a ski slope at the end of a dull, rainy day.
And then it happens – the rain. Right on cue. Apparently, if the weather forecast is right, it could push on into the Bank Holiday. Fabulous. The dreams of squeezing one whole summer into a three day weekend have been banished from my mind. It seems the days will be spent doing indoorsy type things and all that barbeque food will need to be cooked under the umbrella or in the oven.
Oh the memories |
No need to be too glum though. Those visions aren’t too dissimilar from the British seaside summer holidays that were enjoyed as a child. And how fun they were! Plus, as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow put it, the best thing one can do when it’s raining is to let it rain. Well said! Let’s just let it rain and let’s try and enjoy it.

What’s more, if you knock back lots of Simply Nectar it’ll definitely be summer inside. With all our refreshing flavours, our drinks can make you feel like you’re lying on a beach in the hot sunshine, staring at blue skies, rather than sat huddled under an umbrella munching on burnt sausages and burgers.
Pure summer sunshine in a bottle |
Embrace the Bank Holiday – whatever the weather.
Simply rain.
