Another Scottish scorcher – a relative term I hasten to add
before any Oz or US readers beg to differ. Blue skies and sunburning sun oh so
welcome. We expected this in Spain, and got rain, which didn’t stay mainly on
the plain but scattered wherever we were. We don’t expect this in Scotland. Family
visiting from America keep being asked if they’ve brought the weather with
them.
Expectations. We get used to things and begin to assume that
there’s almost an unwritten law that this is the way it is. There is a peculiar
Scottish assumption that there is a finite amount of good weather to which we
may be entitled, and so we are hearing folk say, ‘I hope we don’t use it all up
now and then have a lousy summer.’
God isn’t stingey with his gifts. He is lavish. Why not
expect a lavish gift of heat for Scotland this summer? It happened in ’76!
