Default June's not bad so far in Devon

My visitors were well pleased considering the forecasts. They've
even taken up body boarding and drinking Doom Bar bitter - a cultural
success story.

Where have they come from?

That reminds me of when I took a load of Europeans (French, Germans etc) for
their first drink in an English bar in Falmouth. We sat downstairs in the
pub in the harbour (Chain & Locket I think). All their stereotypes of bad,
warm English ale went out of the door in one clean stroke. They loved it,
with all the different types of ale on offer and not one of them was served
warm. And we had good food too. They were all hooked after that.

Come to think of it, I have never had a warm pint of ale in this country,
tepid, yes rarely, but definitely never warm.

Sun's oot! Feeling warm and humid.

Currently at 12:30, 17.0C, RH 72%, DP 12.0C, 1001.1 mb (S), Wind 4 mph SSW.
4 hours of sun so far today.
