I complain about the heat(*) every time I come down off this hill...

really rather unpleasant.


Same here Dave.

Unfortunately I have to work in Exeter and it always seems so hot and sticky
there. Brilliant getting back home to Haytor often (not much this summer mind)
going from an unpleasant 23C to a more tolerable 19-20C. Same in winter too,
often horrible and mild in Exeter with 8-11C but much fresher at home at 5-8C.
When I lived in Crowthorne (Berkshire) summers were horribly sticky with the
temperature often 25-30C and there there was no escape except to try and lie
still next to an open window and hope for a breeze!
