IIRC, Churchill died in late 1965, but the 1966 summer wasn't up to

Actually he died in January.


Thanks. The 1965 summer wasn't that great either, IIRC. In fact there
was hardly a decent summer during the decade, as I remember it.


I don't think '64 was too bad. We had a hot spell at the end of May
and, after the European Monsoon struck with a vengeance at the
beginning of June, that month was a washout. The rest of the summer, as
I recall, was mainly dry and sunny but not particularly warm. What I
remember about the summer was that it was a westerly type but fronts
crossing the country would have no rain and precious little cloud when
they reached our neck of the woods - Beds/Northants.
