Isn't it amazing

How quiet it is when Europe has a heatwave and everyone is on holiday...!

Even Mike Gadd, our webmaster and moderator of this site, is out there somewhere, island hopping! 8-)

We're looking forward to Symi in September so we can cool off! London is unspeakable - it's not the heat but the humidity which is so wearying. Lunch in a London square surrounded by hundreds of others just isn't the same as the taverna at Nanou/a Triton barbeque with cool beers and a swim to follow.

Who needs to go on Holiday, when the heat is here :?:

It's much nicer swimming at St. Nicks than it is in the Macclesfield Canal though, Millie!

Yes, we were taught in school in SA that no part of the UK is more than 70 miles from the sea. Where do you go to cool off on hot days? Or is this so unusual no one knows quite what to do?! :twisted:

Cheeky! We do go to the seaside but 70 miles in a hot car with two kids is not always my idea of a nice day out! Plus Formby sands is not exactly St. Nicks either! Luckily our back garden is very cool and shady from about midday onwards which has been lovely these past few weeks. We are off to the Dales for a week tomorrow and the kids will no doubt be swimming in the rivers there - if there are any rivers left to swim in that is!

That sounds like fun. Have a great time. The sea here is the colour of molten lead and the air is about hot enough to achieve that state! 8-)

It is really amazing how the weather can change overnight in this country.
Last night is was 20c, we where in the zoo and had a wonderful time with the kids.
Today it's raining and about 23c.
Looks like hubby will have to mow the lawn this weekend :twisted:

Ooh Ooh don't torture me with talk of clouds and rain, Mille. Even the fig trees are starting to die back from the drought... :cry:

I'm currently living in NYC and here the temp is averaging out at about 90.
Not good in the city at all.

Working Allan. Working.

NYC is hot and stinky - not a nice place to be in the summer.

.....I wish I were in Symi.

by **Allan** » 29 Jul 2006, 23:50

OK Sam, you've almost got me convinced. It's just that I never get work trips like that. :evil:

I did go to Reading once, does that count?

by **SamanthaF** » 30 Jul 2006, 02:48

Beautiful I hear.
