The weather shock

I love going to Gran Canaria in the late autumn to suck up the sun as a sponge.  While everyone is getting out warm coats, hats etc at home, I pull out my shorts and bikini's one more time. 

And then when we return, we are hit by reality with a smack.  Daylight saving time is over.  It's dark and it's cold. 

And now we get the first frost at night. And the stores, especially those in the east of Belgium, get into Christmas spirit.  And it feels appropriate. I long to put on a warm toque over my head.
