How to Understand the Seasons of Life
I remember shivering, standing on one of London’s overground train platforms with my fiancée (now my wife) on a Sunday evening in Autumn 2002, waiting for a train heading towards East London. I had just arrived from Nigeria to the UK to pursue my masters degree. She had warned me about the winter season that was round the corner.
One of the things I learnt quickly about seasons in the UK was how to prepare for them. From that time till February the following year, I wore two trousers, three/four layers of tops, and my overall winter coat. Not forgetting my two layers of thick socks and gloves.
