Yesterday I had to wear my winter coat to go to the shop in. I was not impressed. I thought I had put it to rest for one season but no, this is England. I had been fighting the urge to wear it for a few days if I'm honest but thought I would do the tough 'Northerner' thing and bat it out. I have been accused by some on a particular social network site of becoming a 'Southern Softie'. Mainly as a result of my complaining about falling foul to the recent germs that seems to be spreading across the country like an epidemic. I don't mind the banter as I sit here on my boat on a Wednesday afternoon, the doors are open and I have a view across the marina reaching as far as the mansions on the seafront. The sky is blue and I have a coffee and a bar of Lindt by my side. The cold has gone along with the bad weather, now blue skies and a clear nose are making today a particularly good one. So the tough guys up north can mock all they like, this 'Southern Softie' is going to make the most of it!
