weather

My friend, Keith, has lived in Dubai for many years before deciding to return to England. He had often discussed of retiring in England and had planned to buy a house in the country. A few weeks after arriving back home he bought a beautiful cottage in the outskirts of Birmingham. Almost immediately, he began to grumble about the weather, for even though it was still summer, it rained continually and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Keith was disappointed. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was all too much for him. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the cottage and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Keith had thought of everything except the weather.
