THE 'DOG DAYS' OF AUGUST

Hello, I hate August!! - it is as simple as that. Anybody who works on the nursery knows that Richard does not like the month of August! I never seem to be at my best- the long hot sultry, heavy days - tend to bring on my migraines - and it makes me feel tired and sometimes rather irritable!

The Romans thought much the same - they called the middle of August - the 'dog days' - when it was too hot for anything but a dog to go out in the midday sun - bit harsh on dogs I think - but otherwise I am in total agreement!

We all seem to have a particular month we do not enjoy - for all sorts of reasons. Here on the nursery Kevin always seems to dislike January for it's long dark days - Janet and Liz seem to hate July for different reasons - and Miss Potter - well she seems to thrive in any month and any weather!!

One good thing about August though - it leads onto September - and that IS my favourite month of the year!!
Until next time,
RICHARD
