He had no sooner than returned to and he bought purchase a house and went to live in began living there. Almost immediately he begun to complain about the weather, of even though it was still summer, it rained continuously and it was often bitterly cold. After so many years of sunshine, Dave got a shock. He acted as if he had never lived in England before. In the end, it was more than he could bear. He had hardly had time to settle down when he sold the house and left the country. The dream he had had for so many years ended there. Dave had thought of everything except the weather.
