It's lovely to have hot weather at last
Not since April have we had a long warm
Spell, but here we are in early August
Enjoying a heatwave, not Benidorm
Or Rio, but who wants to fry? The storm
May follow, but for now enjoy the sun
And see the British in their summer form
Red shouldered, red necked, tattooed, all as one
Sitting outside the pubs trying to have fun
Despite the traffic always rushing past
The dusty pavement tables. Our forlorn
Post-industrial landscapes are transformed
Into a playground where blue skies and rust
Red brick fuse into a less hostile home
