Holiday Weather

On holiday in the country, my husband went to a nearby farm to buy milk. He ask the owner what he thought the weather would be like that day. The farmer gazed up at the sky and looked off at the far horizon. 'It'll be fine,' he replied. 'How can you tell?' asked my husband, intrigued by the man's understanding of nature. 'It said so on the radio.' (A. Thirkell)
