I'd like to experience them.

So mild in Exeter this morning, that a single fleece was easily warm
enough. The high street retailers won't be able to use last year's
excuse of snow and bad weather to explain their pretty inexoarble
declime. What will this year's excuse be? Too mild for winter clothes?

Presently very dry and 11.5C. Very pleasant December weather and so
much better than last year, at this time!

No matter the weather I can't think of anything I would less like to do
than go to a High Street shopping, especially this week. I often wonder
if the Government fully takes in to account the amount of shopping on
line, including Ebay and Amazon when they do their health of the economy
blurb. They always seem to think that "High Street sales are down" mean
everyone is on the bread line.
