Slight increase in activity around the UK

Small Earthquakes are a norm for the UK.. but 3's only come on average of 4 per year. We had 1 back in December, and now we have had 2 this month. (3.6, and a 3.5) that's 3 in quite a short period of time... what do people think of this?

Is it just some coincidence?
Maybe the faults are becoming more lively?
That actually we could have a large earthquake sometime soon (as we know its possible)?

Or maybe I'm just over thinking it too much...
