Wow! Sunshine...isn’t it fabulous! And doesn’t it spread such a fantastic vibe.... Good old UK is pretty gloomy weather wise most of the time and so I guess we hanker after sun more than most – but it really does make you feel better doesn’t it? Today I have had the pleasure of actually being out in the glorious weather instead of admiring from a desk and the mood is high...and so I believe that transmutes into improved performance...because mood and performance are so closely linked...and that made me think...are hotter climates richer because of this feeling better making production higher? Does Spanish sunshine make Spain more productive and wealthy? If France is bathed in more rays, then are they graced too with more wealth? But then how come African continents and South America and then again most of the ‘developing world’ is actually bathed in sunshine and poorer!! How does that happen?!! Maybe then we in England work harder because the weather is so pants every time! Maybe the rain and the cold drive us indoors and drive us to work and so maybe we are better off?? And frankly I am now so confused I am going to drink a hot British tea and sit in my cool air conditioned car and ponder the impact of climate change on the chances of motorcycling in the dry more often actually being a benefit!!
