Another summer goes up in smoke



The weather outlook suggests that, after three days of sunshine, the Yorkshire summer is over for another year.

And with the nights already getting shorter, it will soon be time to dig out the jumpers and prepare for a long, cold, harsh winter.

At least Jamie and I had the foresight on Saturday to road test our brand new barbecue, given to us by Wee John as a housewarming present (more expensive models were available).

Whether we really needed to fire it up to burn a mere half dozen sausages was debatable - and therefore debated - at the time.

But, with summer now officially at an end, I am pleased we put it to use. 

Hopefully we'll get a chance to use it again in 2012.

Or maybe 2013.
