I have escaped the vagaries of the English summer and decamped to Budapest for a month or so to finish a book. Here for the last two weeks the temperatures have been in the thirties and high twenties, and so it has been a time for shady walks in the hills of Buda, for lounging about on Margit Sziget and for cruising down the Danube, experiences which make up to some extent for all that rain back in England.
Byron evidently also had a low opinion of weather in his own country as the quotation hidden in the accompanying wordsquare shows.
Find the missing words and insert them in the clue below to find what Byron thought of our seasons. The letters of each component word lie in a straight line vertically, horizontally or diagonally - up or down.

Thanks Chris; at last a puzzle I can solve! I always was more of a words and poetry person than a number-cruncher...
How appropriate for summer 2011 in England. Have a good holiday.
The Editor of the Oxford Times wrote to me mentioning that it is raining in Oxford today. But here In Budapest it has been hot and sunny all August. Today it is 36 degrees, and they are prophesying even higher for Thursday and Friday. It is getting too hot to write puzzles...
