Sir, – A Latvian acquaintance was recounting how he describes the different Irish seasons to his friends back in the Baltics.
He said in Ireland, in the winter, it tends to be between five and 15 degrees, it’s windy, and a bit overcast. People dress appropriately for the cold.
In the summer, it tends to be between five and 15 degrees, it’s windy, and a bit overcast. People walk around in shorts and T-shirts. – Yours, etc,
