16C is my average max. for June.
OK it was only 14.3C up here but it didn't feel like March or April (even
in the
force 4-5 wind) - no way.
Average day max. for March is 8C and April 11C.

You're getting soft Jon :-)

Max 14C today, more like February ;-)

My aunt's on her way over from Spain where it's regularly been 30C+ of late.
I told her to prepare herself !

Jon.



He he max 13.2C up here today Jon.
Just like early May!

Measured rainfall in past 24 hours 37.5 mm (Monthly total 116.7) and still
heaving down, LOL.

This summer is a bit like the 60s so far, hope we get a 60s winter too :-)

I was thinking earlier that it was about time we had a truely
wretched summer, well wretched by the standards of the last
20 years or so anyway.

Well it's all downhill from now anyway, roll on winter!

Paul, I think you'll find there's a 'You are now entering Cornwall'
sign when you cross the Tamar Bridge!

I'd visit St Ives more often, but I find the long rail journey very
wearing.

It's surprising how many people don't realise how long Cornwall is.

Been OK here today, mainly dry, bright, coolish but the winds dropped.
CEEFAX inshore forecast (from MetO I believe) said sea conditions
would be rough to very rough from Land's End to St David's Head. The
surf prediction was 2'. www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm shows which
was correct. Hoping to go in tomorrow, as it should be pleasant enough
right on the coast, if the wind is light as predicted.

Let me know next time you're down.

I, like Graham live in Cornwall.
The train service from Paddington to Truro isn't bad apart from the fact
that it takes longer to get from Exeter to Truro, a distance of about 100
miles, than what it does to get from Paddington to Exeter, almost twice as
far.

Paddington to Exeter in 2 hr 3 min is very good. The best
with steam was 2 hr 55 min. The rest of the line is so steep and
bendy that I think there still an overall 60 mph limit and less in a
few places. The time with steam trains was only 25 minutes longer
than the present one.

I wonder whether that is true of the run down to Portsmouth Harbour,
which in the days when I lived on the isle of Wight, always seemed
terribly slow.
These days I have to travel up to town from Dorset so I always take
the Yeovil Jct line, arriving early enough to take some tea at the
delightful station buffet

Maybe, but it is not part of Devon, hence the sign :-)

Of course, that would depend in which direction you were crossing it.
