CLOCKS FORWARD - Summer's here (well, not quite, it's going to snow next week)

print this

Just a note to warn you that the clocks go forward an hour from the early hours of Sunday morning, marking Summer Time.
      Summer Time or Daylight Saving Time is in use in all the EU member-states from the last Sunday in March.
      The clocks will go back again on October 25th.
     
There is no legal obligation to stay up until 3.a.m. on Sunday morning, but that is when it happens - the big hand goes round very very very quickly, and the little hand moves, too, and it is suddenly 4 a.m. - and overnight trains and flights will arrive an hour later than usual.
      Equally, if you are a creature of habit and get up at the same time every day, you'll get an hour's less sleep. Except you probably won't, because all the clocks in the house will be wrong...
      Finland is normally GMT+2, but for the next several months we will be at GMT+3.
