The Plague Of Summer

Never mind the onward march of swine flu, I would imagine that many more of us at the moment, are more concerned with that plague of the summer months, Hay Fever. I never had a problem with Hay Fever as a child and only developed it when nearly out of my teenage years. I have suffered with it annually ever since, the only time when it was less of a problem was during the years when I was living by the coast in Scotland. This year, until now, it had not been much of a problem but is quite bad at the moment, exacerbated so it seems, by the onset of a summer cold.

So if you encounter me over the next few weeks and I am not at my best, its not the onset of SWine Flu, just the annual pollen plague.
