blistering - thundery - freezing - foggy - burning - mild

The title is an apt description of the range of weather we've been having. Aaaah, Britain.

I'll probably be coming back to Portugalandia with a better sun tan than I left with, which will astound some of my neighbours who genuinely believe that the sun actually doesn't shine over Great Britain EVER.

Yesterday a blistering hot AND really windy day on the beach with my babies and an old friend and the grumpy prof. And I was watching these old easter island moais sitting watching the estuary, sitting on the street benches behind the wall. All in bowling whites. All just sitting there. Lovely. Quintessential englishness. You don't have to look far to find it.
