Where has the summer gone? Older students have already returned to universities and the younger ones are counting the days until class starts. Many summer visitors are packing, boarding up their windows and bidding a fond farewell to the Island. I, myself, had to say goodbye to my parents, who have spent the summer close by - enjoying every minute of their visit. It feels as though they just arrived, but all too soon we watched their fifth wheel slowly pull away, headed for warmer destinations.
Many families are experiencing the same phenomenon across the island, judging by the convoys of vehicles I’ve noticed creeping down the highways.
What a summer it has been, a few weeks of hot temperatures mixed with rain and an infinite number of earwigs appearing in every nook and cranny.
