I do realise the Ultimate Sin of weather observing, and how one may be
easily drawn into the abyss never to see mortal man again - or (of more
importance) ever again to taste the 4.3% fluid of ambrosia.
I am sure the ancient Greeks would have put it better....

Didn't the great Thomas Barker, who kept a record for something like 60
years back in the 18th century, live in Rutland? So you have a lot to
live up to.
Indeed John; his observations have been published and I have a copy. I
cannot hope to achieve his eloquence. I may be able to match his
enthusiasm though. Unfortunately my serfs and labourers are an
unreliable and rebellious lot, hence my need for humble electronics.
Should they be struck by lightning I shall make a note in my diary also.
Who knows where these readings may be analysed in many hundreds of years
time.

Cheers.
Paul
