Default Onset of Autumn

I deem Autumn to have arrived when I no longer windsurf in my short summer
wetsuit - and at the weekend I was still wearing it, all be it getting
chilly at times and yesterday I wore on top a neoprene rash vest - Sat was
far sunnier than Sunday - and the sea is still very warm - I swam three
times last week, each session well over a mile (30 mins) at did not feel
at
all cold - so with the advent of this wind - we can almost say Autumn is
here - but in our household & domestic scene - it's when the CH goes on,
sweat shirts are the norm and shorts go back in the draw - but I still
will
be wearing flip flops for a while yet -- it's not till it starts getting
very cold that the winter wetsuits and boots come out!!



The only time I tried windsurfing at Coverack on the Lizard, I was to cold
in a wetsuit on a sunny day in July!
