Seeing the bright side

What’s good about a cold, wet May?

• The only two warm, sunny days we’ve had so far this month seemed miraculous (instead of merely normal for this time of year).

• Although there are bright yellow fields of oil seed rape all around my house, the damp weather has kept the pollen levels low so I haven’t needed to take antihistamines every day.

• Sometimes we get a glimpse of a rainbow!

I wonder if there really is a crock of gold in that rape field?
