Heatwave..

Any temperature more than +10C, or a period of weather where it does not rain for more than a week is automatically deemed a heatwave in England.  Should, in the extremely unlikely circumstance, the mercury bulb display the dizzy heights of more than 20C the tabloid newspapers feel it is necessary to scour the world section of some broadsheet to see exactly how much hotter London is, in comparison to say, Algiers.  The obligatory picture of overweight students in bikini's are emblazoned on every front page.

Well, that is just what has happened here in England since the end of last week.  We are experiencing some decent weather for a change.  In the last 3 days we have eaten fish and chips on the beach and had 2 barbecues - hence why there has been no update to my blog of recent.

I do hope you will excuse me, as I enjoy a cold beer in my garden and relax with the kids in the pool (a plastic paddling pool, which is infinitely impossible to inflate).
