News of the 'Atlantic multi-decadal oscillation' has put England under a cloud which is expected to last another 10 years. This cycle of wet Summers started in 2007, the very year that we came to Austria. If any smugness is detected then rest assured that Maria Alm has its very own bad weather cycle. No matter how glorious the Summer is, it will almost certainly rain shoemakers' apprentices on Midsummers Eve and snuff out all the Bergfeuer (mountain fires) lit to celebrate the Solstice.
