scorchio!

It’s something, isn’t it, when you look at the forecast being ‘only’ 30° on Thursday and thinking phew – at least it’ll be a bit cooler…
Britain isn’t geared up in any shape or form to deal with any extreme kind of weather (see trains stopping because a leaf on the line or maybe, oh an inch of snow!). Hardly any homes have air con, so we are tempted into the freezer aisles of supermarkets, or shops where they do have it and spend a sneaky half hour ‘browsing’. Carpet suddenly becomes gross and  pointless – why on earth do we have it on bus and tube seats for example?? (thankfully the days of people carpeting their bathrooms seems to have passed..)
The British tradition of ice-cream vans however, suddenly come into their own…:)
