Sorry, ...Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. Sorry, I've been away and so I'm late in following up on this lovely interlude, spent in the sun. It's trying to snow again here in Gloucestershire. Brrrrrrrr<br />I'd never really thought about the seasonal coincidence in my two current books before chatting to Pauline. I've come to the conclusion that my subconscious brain is a lot brighter than my conscious brain.

I'm probably willing it to hurry up and get here.<br /><br />Yesterday I was wearing layers of clothes, including fingerless gloves, and writing a scene based on a beach during a 29 degree August day.

One...Very interesting and entertaining post, Gilli. One of the novels I remember from years ago used the weather/time of year as a metaphor. The blistering affair involving the main characters began at the Olympics in Berlin during a raging hot summer. Many years later they meet up at the Olympic stadium in the depth of winter, the heat totally gone from their relationship and echoed by the freezing German winter. I've never forgotten that novel simply because of this.Liz Ringrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549790415514746802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623806380645887747.post-40996851626231480172013-02-07T10:22:42.915+00:002013-02-07T10:22:42.915+00:00Hi Paula, thanks for stopping by and fingers cross...Hi Paula, thanks for stopping by and fingers crossed this summer will be a great one for the UK!Pauline Barclayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391269090700842939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623806380645887747.post-72895508190122821662013-02-07T10:21:57.535+00:002013-02-07T10:21:57.535+00:00Hello Pat, great to see you and yes it is always b...Hello Pat, great to see you and yes it is always back to the sunshine!Pauline Barclayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13391269090700842939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4623806380645887747.post-60635716175049323202013-02-06T18:25:10.186+00:002013-02-06T18:25:10.186+00:00Interesting thoughts, Gilli, which has made me rea...Interesting thoughts, Gilli, which has made me realise I set most of my novels in May or June. Maybe that's because they are usually the best months, weather-wise, in the UK - except for last year, of course!
