The good lady said the mini told her it was 20c earlier.

Got the chimney balloons defalted as well just there to get some air around the house.

Sadly I will be locked in a chicken shed in Leith tomorrow.

All I've noticed is that Scotland until Midsummer can be warmer than the warmer parts of England.

Gulf stream has a big effect on our marine environment on the west but not so much our inland climate. I lived much of my life on the Isle of Arran where it just rains continually.

I had a couple of hiking/climbing holidays in Scotland many years ago and we had better weather than at home.

Gulf Stream?

I am looking out the window and Ben Lomond is still covered in snow.

I think this is the time of year when places in Scotland are warmer than the South East.

It's only 14 in London.

It's full on toasty here with 16 Celsius (that is what counts for toasty here in Glasgow)

With Travis hailing from Glasgow which is the most rained on city in Europe ( 65% of days it rains ) you can see why they wrote that song.

After winter where it never really got above 0 for about 3 weeks i'm just glad to see that burning orb in the sky.

I'm looking forward to getting the Beach Boys on and sailing up the Kyles of Lochalsh in a couple of weeks.
