Living, and especially growing
up, in the UK, I used to find British winters interminable. Mainly because they
seemed to begin with the start of autumn and end with the last day of spring.
Those dreary grey skies seemed to hide the sun for the whole of that time. I
once heard someone describe it as “God putting the lid on England’s Tupperware
for winter.” Happy to say, we very rarely experience “Tupperware skies” here in
Japan – but that doesn’t mean I don’t still think about them from time to time.
Bare trees
and grey skies –
a stopped clock.
