HAVE you noticed hardly anybody appreciates Mother Nature any more?

Just before winter, you heard everybody praying for a white Christmas. But if we didn't get it, they sulked, saying Christmas isn't Christmas without snow.

Then, as soon as She gives us what we want, everybody is moaning because they can't get from A to B.

When we reach spring, everybody is now praying for a nice hot summer and when we do get one, people start to moan about it, due to hosepipe bans and being told to go easy with water.

It seems no matter what Mother Nature does, she just can't win.
