You know me. I won't tell you it's cold till there's a good hard frost. Nonetheless it's certainly cool for the time of year, and my dad in the Lake District said the car thermometer was registering 4 C yesterday afternoon, which isn't far off snow temperature.

I don't know what it is here, but I didn't get overheated in my trenchcoat and yellow boots, despite the fact that I had a trolleyload of shopping. That's not normal for June.

I can't say I mind it at all. :-)

It's been unseasonably cold the last couple of days here in southern Spain and it rained...unheard of in Sevilla in June.
And it's all made me just want to cuddle under the covers.

Edinburgh and London seem to be getting warm spells when the clouds bugger off and rain and cold when they turn up again. That's just how May and early June work here... People are just moaning more than usual because we got lucky and had a warm spell before going back to normal!
