My old friend, Harrison, had lived in the Mediterranean for many years before
he returned to England. He had often dreamed of retiring in England and had
planned to settle down in the country. He had no sooner returned than he
bought a house and went to live there. Almost immediately he began to complain
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, Harrison got
a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it
was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he
sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years
ended there. Harrison had thought of everything except the weather.&
