They say the Brits talk lots about the weather. I'm not one for stereotypes, and I wouldn't have thought it true, but when I do get back to the UK, I've started to notice that lots of people do, indeed, make small-talk about the weather. At the bus stop, in the bus station, over breakfast with the family sitting at the next table in the guest-house dining room in Whitby. The weather. Is it a security blanket? ...Something to say? Or is it really a true passion for the weather?
Write whatever you like, a poem, a short story, you decide, but the weather should play a very central part in it somehow.
